stock ride height

Just wondering if those of you with replacment springs (not lowering), could you post a picture of your car so I can get an idea of the factory ride height. I am trying to decide which way to go as I don't know if or how much mine are sagging, but the fronts definitely need replacing. All the pics I came across in searching were lowered cars.

Also if you have measurments from the centre of the axle hub the the fender well (which would eliminate different size tires) that would be helpful too.

thanks.

thanks, got them! So how old are they? Did the ride get higher from the old ones or is it pretty much the same? And did they have to settle at all?

thanks.

They're about a year old and are taller than the old 16x,xxx mile stockers. I did'nt notice them settling much, if at all. I think I'm gonna cut a half coil off the backs, mabee a little off the fronts depending on how much it raises after aluminum headed 350/t-5 swap.

How much do you figure it is higher than your old ones? Really noticeable or subtle?

I was wondering if you could do me a small favour??.....could you measure from the centre of your centre caps to the fender lip (the metal lip not the plastic up in the wheel well)?? That will give me a concrete # that I can use for comparison. By measuring from the centre of the cap that eliminates tire and wheel size (which mine are different than yours).

thanks.
