Could you post some stock ek9 photos? Just want to see the ground clearance of the stock chassis and suspension! Thanks a lot!
 
did that mate. On the net it is hard to find a stock one and be sure about the oem ground clearance. So if there are owners from here I would really appreciate it.
 
Thanks mate! So as far as i can see it sits more to the front side and the clearance between the arch and the wheel isn't major as for aesthetics.. It's stock 195/55/15 tyres right?

That's the correct size and that's what I had fitted. I did measure the height from the ground to the jacking points some time ago. Fronts measured 120mm and rears 130mm. Giving the car 10mm front/positive rake angle. Not sure if this is of any use to you or not.?
 
It's of great help! Thanks again! The reason I am seeking this kind of info is to get a figure of the stock ek9 handling philosophy. I have used stock suspension and saw its performance in my ej9, then stock with energy bushings, then HnR with bilsteins b8, then Buddy Club +N, then Buddy Club with 26mm and 24rear swaybars and other bars around, now HnR with bilsteins again only with some 30mm teflon extra mounts to make sit almost a bit lower than stock but with the use of harsher springs and now I will source a stock ek9 suspension to see how it handles. The common think i come to realise with stiff suspension is the bouncy uncomfy ride, other than that the handling was always too good. I will let you know.
