How far to lower?

Hello, I'm new to this forum and hoping someone can help.

I just bought a 94 GT Convertible a few weeks ago that's had a LOT done to it....still trying to figure out exactly what I'm working with. One thing I know is I want bigger wheels, but the car has been lowered a ton, not sure how much. I want to raise it back up some, just not sure if I want to go stock height or not.

It would help if I knew how low it was not....so can anyone with a stock height with stock tire size GT measure from the ground to bottom of the fender in the middle of the wheel please? That way I can see what I'm working with.

 

Well, on all my cars I don't like to be like everyone else, so I want 20's.....will go with 19's if needed. I know the wheels I want. I figured if it was stock height I would go with a taller tire to fill up the gap.

But it's my daily driver now, and scrapes on most little dips, speed bumps, etc. It's too low now, running stock height tires there is virtually no wheel gap.

 

Here's the car.

Thanks for the info....2.5" if that's the case is too low. Eibach is expensive, and heard they ride bought....how ar the SR Performance? They are a 1.5" also. Or the Ford Racing C Springs....they are less than 1.5".

Also, thanks for the pic info...I was trying to figure that out. lol And my user name? Been using it for many years for games and such....comes from my last name, and having a family (a mob) haha

 

I didn't paint it....LOL It's better than a stuck on pin stripe, but it's painted....so nothing I can do without a whole repaint.

 

Can someone please still measure for me so I know what I'm working with?

 

Thanks. Measuring would be great, as another member thinks 2.5" drop is what I have (seems about right)...but if it's not that much and I order new springs to raise it and find out they don't I'd be pissed at myself. HAHA
