3rd Generation 94 camry factory ride height

I am looking for specifications for the factory ride height of a gen 3 camry (94). I recently replaced the front struts/springs with Monroe Quickstrut. It seems to be much higher than before ( I wish I would have measured height before changing them) and seems to be much higher than it could have been from the factory. So I'd like a way to measure and know for sure. Not that I buy into the lore of spring settling, but they have been installed for a month and 1000 miles.
I did find a post on gen 4 ride height but couldn't find anything on gen 3.

In absence of specs, it would be helpful if anyone that has a stock suspension car could measure the height somewhere, like ground to fender lip (include tire size)

thanks for any help,
Bobby

I guess you came across my thread too. The Monroe Quickstrut will raise the car after install for two reasons. 1, Worn spring will sag over time and will be lower than when the car was new. 2, New springs will need time and mileage to "settle" in and fall back to "normal" ride height. When I installed my Monroe Quickstrut up front, it raised the front two inches but now have settle down to 1/2" above the original 27" fender height that I measure. Note that this was on a 2001 Camry 205/65-15 tires. Most ride height measurement are done at points on the chassis and are different between models.

I'm planning to swap the old spring back on to level out my car like before.
