How high is your ride height?

I'm curious about all suspensions, other than those that are jacked up in the back with big meats. Tell me your ride height at all four corners. I'm interested in your ride height with the stock suspension. SS, Z28, Trans Am, WS6, Firehawk, SLP Bilstien and 1LE suspension, Eibach Pro kit & Sportlines, and any other suspension. I'm trying to decide if I want to lower my car.
With the SLP option 1LE on my 2002SS it sits 27.5 inches at all corners. I measured it from the top of the wheel arch to the ground. Please tell me what your ride height is measured this way. Thanks.

I have a 2001 SS with BMR lowering springs. It sits 26.5 at all four corners. I don't know what it set from the factory. I bought it used and the previous owner had cut the factory springs to make at 25 inches all the way around.

26.25" x4
I would like it .25" taller in the rear. Just a touch of rake.
Right now it is level.
Pics on my site, in sig.
Good luck

No rake for me please. IMO that went out with jacked up Grand Prix' of the 80's. I remember in high school, any kid would get some 2-door and jack it up and think he's got himself a racecar. hahahaha
