    I had to measure some other things on my car today so I went ahead and did this too. Mine is 51 3/4.

    And I gotta do a better measure on height. But dam ur real low. Wht have u done to clear the a arms. I still hit on mine

    I've actually done nothing for the control arms. I'm not sure why I don't hit but as far as I know they don't. You measured to the top of the door by the rear corner?

    I will as soon as I can. My car is stored in a different city than I live in. The other day was actually the first time I had laid eyes on my car in three months.

    I like to take measures from the ground to the tip of the fender that way you get a front and rear measurement. Good way to compare stance. Unless you have rolled fenders I guess.

    i just measured mine and im at 26in to the bottom of the handle.

    what size tires are you running, im on 195-45-16 cause that might make a difference on measurements also.
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Im 175/50/16. Where ur pics at? Gotta see. I was an inch lower but axles were horriblely out of whack
  • GrocyGtrGrocyGtr Band Wagon

    Sorry it took me so long guys!

    drum roll........................ 26 1/2'' :( not quite as low as some.

    I am shopping around for 195/45/15s right now which will help. I have 14'' balloon tires on right now.

    Dam m3 ur real low.
  • MrM3MrM3 Council Member
    I feel like your car looks lower than mine. I was surprised by my measurement, I even double checked.
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Ya im shocked. I might look into custom axles so I can go lower
  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist
    27" for me. thought I was low. maybe when I get some coilovers. need to pull my quarters too.
  • smooneysmooney Band Wagon
    I'm at 25 1/2 at the door handle
  • ef_mcluvenef_mcluven Band Wagon
    Ok so I HAD measure my car, lol, I couldn't stand it.
    So here is the stats.
    I'm bottom of the handle..... 26 7/8's
    That's achieved by cut springs front springs 3 1/2" and 5 1/2" out of the rears
    Setting on fat fives wrapped in 195/45 (or 50's)
    that is as low as I can go without putting extended top hats on, it would bottom out bad.

    I just measured my boyfriends's '91 RT4WD and it is 30 7/8" to the bottom of the door handle. Mine is still at the mechanic's. It has broken front springs, so I know it is lower.
