Default Lowrider status to 4x4


Going from this height^


To this height^

Hello, my pops is complaining about the EP3 scraping everywhere. I need to know what the stock height of a 2004-2005 EP3 is. Can someone please measure the top of the wheel arches to the ground when car is on totally flat pavement with stock tire size with stock wheels.
Please keep in mind if your measuring the distance between top of tire and fender you are:

1. Running the oem tire size, 205/55/16 or the alternate optional tire size which is 215/45/17.

2. Your car is stock height...of course.

*Thank you in advance

sorry, I do not agree....the mesurement you want is from the jacking points as they are parrt of the floor pan that your suspension attaches to....fenders and alike can be bent, flared and alike....stock from the lowest point of the jacking points is around 6.5 inches.
