Stock Ride Height

[Azrial89]

What is the stock ride height from the ground to the top curve of the wheel well? Thanks!

According to RC the buick was 27.2" in front and 26.8" in rear with full tank of fuel. It is said to be buick specs that are used in TSA class racing.

This is used in tsa on all cars but alot of people know the 86s had a different height (sat lower) than the 87s.

Thanks

Stock ride height is measured at the rockers behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels. It should be between 9 & 1/8 "and 10 & 5/8" on both ends.

If you take any measurement from the ground wouldn't it be subject to tire diameter and air pressure?

One constant would be measurement from center of wheel hub to a fixed reference point like the center edge of wheel arch. Then it wouldn't matter if you had different tire size, air pressure or even no wheels and tires.

However I suppose it would still be influenced by weight of vehicle.

84 T 26 1/4" front, 25 5/8" rear (1" lowering springs all around)

hello people; Is it the propper way to take a measurment at the wheel well? I just took some measurments to the frame. I measured in front of the rear tires and behind the front. I got 7 3/4" all around but 8" at the RF. I want to know what I have as I lost my records on the front coils. I do know I have them load level rear springs Kirban sells in the rear. I do have 16" rims and 245-50 tire all around.
thanks men and lady

PS; Does the frame height stay the same if you change springs?
