stock ride height measurements?

my 85 12A looks too high? from axle center to fender lip I measured front 13 inches and rear 14 inches. What is stock? Anyone know? Not knowing what prior owners have changed I'm looking for a baseline measurement. Thanks.

Well if you're running the stock wheels with 185/70/13 tires, the radius of that combo is around 11.5 inches, so your car is probably right where it should be. RX-7's sit rather high when stock and in good shape.

mine is lowered and measures close to 5 inches from the fender lip to the top of the wheel (13") rim. So would be close to 12" to the wheel center.
