As Giles said, straight out the factory on new springs and shocks its 15mm lower than the standard 325.
obviously, worn shocks or springs make it vary - old springs will make it look lower than 15mm, but old shocks which arent what they used to be will make the car look higher, as the spring wont have so much resistance to push against, so the equilibrium point will be higher.

I agree 15mm at the springs but the body appears to be more than 15mm lower. guess that is due to the mechanical action of the suspension.?
