Default Ride Height - Comparing SPF to ERA and CSX

I have found a decent drawing of the ERA with measurements noted from the ERA site


i know the drawing is not to scale and the tire positioning is illustrative. You can see that the drawing shows more clearance between the front and rear. My SPF measure 27 inches from floor to center arch of fender lip on all 4 corners. This group was kind enough to share some measurements and helpful suggestions about corner weighting etc. What i am trying to figure out is what the ERA 427 measurements are (front and rear) ground to center of fender lip. I am running 295/50/15 tires in the rear and want to go from 27 inches to about 25.75 or 26.00. I love the way the ERA sits more squat in the back. I don't know if the body dimensions are different or if the suspension is just positioned lower, but i really want that look. If owners of CSX or ERA 427 bodies could help, i would really appreciate it.

Many thanks!
