Actual Pro-Kit Ride Height

I am thinking about Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but I don't want to drop too low. You some people post pix of their cars with Pro-Kits. I am going to measure mine at the front of the wheel well on the ground effects at the front and rear for comparison. This way, there isn't a problem with the measuring tape not being in the center of the wheel well. Mine is a 91, if there are any differences with the GFX. Pix of mine tommorow. It is dark. Thanks in advance.

Measure from the centerline of the rim to the fender lip. Use a level in the vertical orientation or a plum-bob to make sure you have the tape measure vertical. I've posted the measurements of my car with Pro-Kits installed years ago.
