    Does anyone know what the STOCK height was on a 07 base prius front and rear from ground up to the under side of fender lip?

    I wanted to see how much if any sag I have in front and rear before changing out springs along with shocks/struts.

    thanks
    Craig

    I suggest you download repair manual info from techinfo.toyota.com for your model year. The following is an example of the dimensions provided for 2005. Obviously the illustration that accompanies this text would be helpful for you to figure out the measuring points:

    2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
    Vehicle height:
    Front (A - B) 95 mm (3.74 in.)
    Rear (D - C) 62 mm (2.44 in.)
    Measuring points:
    A: Ground clearance of front wheel center
    B: Ground clearance of lower arm No.1 set bolt center
    C: Ground clearance of rear axle carrier bush set bolt center
    D: Ground clearance of rear wheel center
    NOTICE:
    Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
    height to the specified value.
    HINT:
    Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the

    suspension and inspect the vehicle height.
