Here are some height measurements I took from a stock '93 base hatch

LF: 15.5" (39.37cm) from the center of the axle to the top of the wheel-well cutout 9" off the ground (flat spot just next to the side skirt )
RF: 16" (40.64cm) 8.5" off the ground
LR: 15" (38.1cm) 8.5" off the ground
RR: 15.25" (38.735cm) 8.5" off the ground

Measuring from the ground to the top of the wheel-well cutout doesn't take into account the profile of his tires.

..But in this case, with the issue being stroke, with the JIC, the height shouldn't really matter..

Is there a significant amount of 'strut' coming up through the rear camber plates?

How much can the rear wheel drop when you lift the rear of the car off the ground? And how far will the rear wheel move when the wheel is first placed on the ground, and then settles to ride height? Spring rates?

Is it possible that the rear inside tire is picking up off the ground in the turn?
