And yours is OEM? Hmm... I just went out into the garage, and measured mine
again, and the fronts show 26 1/4, and the rears at 25 1/4 (I guess it
settled a bit on the drive home...). My car has 215/60/15s Comp T/As on it. I
wouldn't think that would make a big difference (relative to your
205/60/15s).

If yours is OEM, something is not making sense here. My car is definitely
lower than OEM... you can tell just by standing next to it and behind it.
Maybe yours is sagging... all around? I guess we need some other listers to
come forward with their measurements (of the ride height... don't read into
it THAT much folks!!). Hmm... this is rather interesting...

The rear is noticeably lower, and so is the front. Hmm... it is definitely
rather odd. We'll have to wait and see what others come up with...

Yep.. I just double-checked them.

> OTOH, maybe mine is sagging?

Could be!! How many miles do you have on your car? Regardless, I wouldn't
think that they would sag that much!! Hmmm...

Maybe it is 'cuz you have all those cinder blocks in your trunk, and that big
old Chevy 454 stuffed under the hood!! That would surely change your ride
height!! :-)
