Standard Height of RX7 FD

Anyone know what the standard height of the RX7 is...
From Ground to Arch...

My car wasn't level last night although it was around the 70cm / 27inch mark (REAR). That was from ground to centre of arch lip...

I know wheel/ tire sizes and suspension are going to vary heights etc although just interested how low I can go. Heights are based on 18's with standard suspension..
Cheers
Woz

Stock tire and wheel diameter is 25". I would estimate that stock ride height is around 26-27". Measuring in the rear can be tricky due to weight of fuel.

FYI - I believe the FSM (Factory Service Manual) has the ride height in there.

24.8" or 24.9" (rounded to 25") but definitely not 24" even
