Can someone actually measure the clearance of their stock height 05 GT at the center inside of the front and rear wheels so I can compare them with my dropped measurements? I want to know if Eibach's listed Sportline drop is correct or not.

Front is 28 1/4" both sides
Rear is 29" both sides

(That's why my Eibach springs are on order, it looks goofy to me!)

I actually meant ground clearance. To make it easier I only need height from flat ground to the rocker ground effects in front of the rear wheel and behind the front.

It's kind of tough to tell, but from my shop floor to the lowest point is:

front 5-3/4"
rear 6-1/2"

The plastic moves a bit, so this isn't going to be as accurate as my fender lip measurements...

I took a look @ a stock GT, still sitting on a lot actually, and the measurements came out to about 6 1/2" @ the front of the rocker effects and 7 1/4" in the rear. These were recoreded at the lowest points at the underside of the rocker panel.

My Sportline dropped clearances are 3 7/8" in the front and 4 1/2".

This equals out to a 2 5/8" up front and 2 3/4" out back. Of course these are estimates of what the real drop is but its safe to say that its not much less. See sig.
