Ever measured you car's actual ride height?

Getting ready for my suspension setup, and mechanic had me measure my ride height currently to adjust the height after everything done. I measured from the ground to the bottom of the plastic trim around the wheel well, centered on the wheel cap, and got these numbers:

Front: 25 1/4
Rear: 25 3/4

Anyone else done before and after measurements, or have measurements now?

Installing coilovers, sway bars w/ adjustable end links, adjustable camber plates, upper/lower rear control arms.

Also, please be gentle, as this is my first ever posting of a new thread...
