Marauder owners, can you measure the distance between the ground and the rear fender when the car is on a level surface ?

I'm trying to figure how much the SHM lowering springs would lower my Vic...

Thanks! :)

I just did this on my car for checking before and after heights with winter tires on, summer tires off. The rear was 28-1/2", front was 28-1/4" with the summer tires on. The snows that I installed dropped both measurements by 3/4". Sorry about the lack of metric values here, Mr. Montreal.

It sounds good! They should make a Marauder drop to 27.32", and drop me to 26.34" considering the smaller overall tire diameter of my 275/40/17's. Maybe a little bit less since my 2000 is lighter than the 2003+ cars by 300 lbs (but most of thw weight in on the front)...

My current setup is 26" ground-to-fender.
