I did look, No luck! What is the U.S. ride height on a 911sc?

Everyone talks about how low their car is or euro height (25.5x25.0) what was original USA height? anyone know, know you don't care but inquiring minds want to know

Factory specs never referenced the fender height, and with stock tires sizes, 25.5/25.0 is actually almost an inch lower than the factory specified height for '74-83 RoW cars and worldwide cars before and after that window.

Fender height estimates at factory spec with factory size tires should be in the general area of:

'65-73 (all), '74-83 (RoW) and '84-89 (all) - approx 26.25/26.0

'74-83 (US spec) - approx 27.0/26.5

These are my best guesses of fender heights based on comparison of fender measurements of my car compared to measuring the ride height the factory way at the torsion bars.
