Can somebody help me to measure a ground clearance on his ACR ?

I have adjusted my front shocks.
I have mesured the distance between the ground and the top part of the hood curve around the wheel.
Before adjustment the distance was 27'1/2 after it was 27'.
In the rear the distance between the ground and the top part of the fender's curve is 29''.

I know that these mesures depend a lot on the body panel adjustments but it is easy to measure them.

I lowered my ACR by screwing the rear spring perches all the way down (I think it was 14 turns). I then lowered the front an equal amount. I corner-weighted the car and it was spot on (no changes necessary). My front measurement is 25.75" and the rear measurement is 26.75".

Front = 27.5" Rear = 28.5" As far as I know, the shock spring perches are the original height although I am not the original owner; so, no telling for sure.

Thanks.
My setup is not so bad but I will lower my rear 1/2''.
I can`t lower my viper too much. The road are in bad condition here.
