Default Stock Ride Height?

I need some help. I've noticed that my car leans to one side, and was wondering what the stock ride height is for the fenders? So, what I need is from the ground to the highest point on the fender with a tape measure. I tried searching, but didn't find what I was looking for. This is on a totally stock 05 STi.

I would like to know as well for my '06.

Some suggest a measurement from the hub but I am not sure exactly what spot on the hub is correct.

Front and rear please.

Not sure, but drivers side naturally sists lower than passenger side.

If you are fat, it sits even lower.

doesnt really matter where you messure from, just as long as you messure from the same spot on all 4 corners. I normally messure off the bottom of the hub.


as for the lean, there is several factors for this... full tank of gas, low tire, or other factors.
