Default For those with Roush Springs, front or rear.

If you're runningstock tire heights, could someone measure the distance from the bottom of their fender lip to the ground, front and/or rear? Thanks in advance!

I have stock front springs and Roush rear springs and my measurements are as follows:
Front(from wheel center at lower edge of fender lip) 28 3/16"
Rear(as above) 28 1/2"
Hope this helps, ps the Mustang's front fender wells sit higher than in the rear, so the actual height difference is more than the 5/16" that the numbers above indicate, it's more like a 1/3" difference with the rear(of course) being higher.

Ok, just measured. I only have the Roush rears, but I measured all four fender heights.

LR = 28.38 in
RR = 28.5 in
LF = 28.25 in
RF = 28.25 in

Excellent, thanks guys! I'm changing my Steeda rears for Roush's tomorrow and I don't want to lose the rake of the car. Currently mine is at 28" rear, so I'm glad the Roush's will keep the nice angle to the car with the Steeda fronts. Thank you again.

On my V6 convertible, the original height, GT wheels and tires with less than a thousand miles, full tank of gas:

Both fronts at 28.375
Both rears at 28.750

After installation of Steeda Sport springs:

Both fronts at 27.5
Both rears at 27.5625

Those will all 4 Roush springs, like in the 'Stage 2's and 'Stage 3's, does the car sit perfectly level, or is there still a rake to it?
