Default Ride height?

Can someone with a stock 997 TT do me a favor and take some measurements for me? From the ground to the top arch of the wheel well, front and rear. I'm trying to figure out if my springs/shocks/whatever need replacing or if I'm at factory height.

I'd like to know what stock ride height is as well.

Looks about right from eyeballing it...

Btw, you may have mentioned it in your other thread, but you should make sure the tires all match to avoid potential issues with the differential.

New tires are sitting at the dealership as we speak. Unfortunately, they wanted an absurd amount for TPMS sensors, so I've gotta wait for them to be delivered from TireRack.

The tires are the factory size and have the appropriate rolling diameter. Will the traction difference really make that big of a deal to the center diff?

Looks stock to me, here are a few old pics I had before lowering, all right around 27" give or take. My rears were 295 width at the time, not sure about the fronts, I think they were the sizes recommended for winter tires.
