Ride height is about 27 1/4" F & R (+/- 1/8"). Access mode should be about an inch below that ...but I haven't measured it yet. I can also use "drop" function which puts me at 5% of my ride height. (Tires tuck with that! Lol)

That pic I posted of the X beside the building a few posts back is my access height.

That's about what I will be setting mine too, 27 1/4 is about stock access height on sport models.

Visually it's the height that keeps the wheel gap around the tire pretty much even. Any lower and the tops of the tires start to look too close and too "aftermarket" IMO. I would also be concerned with damaging stuff on anything but smooth roads if I set me normal ride height any lower. (Aaaaand our roads are poop here!!!)

24's aren't something you see very often....so kudos for taking a different route than most. Kinda ruins a 4.6 IMO....but then again you know what they say about opinions! .

Edit: what sidewall are you running? 25's?

When I first picked her up I wanted to go fast. Soon after that, I started realizing my Miles Per Gallon started turning into Gallons Per Mile. My spirited driving days have slown down but I enjoy the luxury to get where I need to in a pinch still.

I like to just cruise in it now. I knew true enthusiasts would frown upon daring to do this, but you won't see another like mine! Pictures don't do justice, for some reason I get more compliments from the >40 club

Take it easy fellas's! I still have the 87's in the garage!

All tires are 275/25/24
