factory ride height

[diegomike]

just bought a 2005 ssr. i'm going to lower it but can't tell if some work has already been done. anyone have factory ride height specs measured to the fender lips front and rear

Welcome and good timing, as I just measured mine the other day. It has the standard Eibach kit that has been in service for 4 or 5 yrs. now, with 40k miles on it - so well settled in, I guess. Front measures @ 28 1/16" with a 245/45/19 tire and the back is @ 28 7/8" with a 295/40/20 tire. I think the kit was supposed to be somewhere around 2" drop in the rear and 1 1/4" in the front - it's been a while so don't have the exact #s.

thanks for the info....still lookin for stock heights if i can get them.

Front: 28 3/4" with stock size tires

Rear: 30 1/2" with 315/35/20

Don't know if this will help...I think the 06s were a little lower than the 05s

Welcome from western Pa.

I measured mine before lowering it to check on the ride height changes.......

OEM ride height:

Front wheel well = 28.75"
Rear wheel well = 31.25"

This was with nothing in the bed and a full tank of gas.

The stock springs and suspension are identical from 2003-2006...... ride height should be identical on all.....

My current ride height is 27.75" front and 29.25" rear...... I love it.

Regards,

Mike

My '06 is 28.5" on 255/40/19 Firehawks in front

and 29.5 on 295/40/20 Firehawks in rear and I have not touched the suspension at all.

i can see you guys are great and ready to help....thanks to all.i'm about to open another can of worms and i have read all the threads on lowering i think. my question is why are owners not using the djm trailblazer kit that uses the bilstein strut over and replaces the a arms and strut mount with the shorter one. seems like the way to go to me.

Stock, Factory GoodYear Tires still on mine. Front 29.5" Rear 31.5"

Out of curiosity...The specs on the 03 - 05 list the overall height as 64.2" and the 06 at 63.8"...If the springs and suspension are the same on all where would the difference be?
