Ground Clearance

Whats the stock Ground Clearance height for 2k1 Si/Ex ??
If i plan to get a Eibach ProKit which will lower about 1 inch, will it be able to get rid of the ugly wheel gap?

I closed my gap with Ground Control coil-overs.
Now my back tires are tucked a little more than my front tires.
The lowest thing on our cars is the exhaust where it runs under the middle of the car.
My pipe is 2 inches off the ground!!!!
I looked the other day and it's all scratched up from creeping up and down inclines.
Guess I'll need to replace it soon and raise my car a bit huh?

I didn't tuck my wheels all the way with my gc's but left about 1/2" gap there. Ocassionally I'll clip the center pipe on a speedbump or something. Otherwise not too bad. Now mudgards are a different story.
