OK, I get just about 14" from center of center cap to lip of fender.
So, yes, maybe Rory's is just a little lower. Could the Koni have something to do with it?

Could be. Koni are a Twin tube low pressure gas design, the Sachs/Boge are a high pressure gas shock.
Could give it a slight lift. But not too much.
Stock height in rear is about 15.5"

Rory Got 13 1/2" (fender to center cap center)
I have a little under 14" but cannot make a good measurement until the car is level. Most likely 13 3/4"

Lowering is 1.25" ~ 30mm (this can vary slightly)
So at 15.5" Stock height, your looking at 14.25" of lowering but most of the time it is slightly more.

What do you have Sam? I am sure the same.
