Default Front lips comparison

Anyone care to shed some light on this question: how low do each of these lips drop the front of the car? Even approximate #'s are fine. Thanks.

Stock springs, tires, rims....

Amuse is a little less than 3 inches from the ground at the lowest point Id say.

Just measured my Amuse "style" lip in my garage (concrete floor).
The bottom of the lip is exactly 3-7/8" off the floor.

Obviously different cars with different wheels/tires/suspension will have different heights measured from the ground up. What I'd like to know is how much each lip lowers the front, not how much ground clearance you're left with.

Thanks.

I don't think you'll find a picture will all these lips on a different car in one photo but here's mine (Amuse style):

I find the ground clearance to be adequate except for getting into my own driveway and for going on and off ferries. I have installed a couple of metal plates on the front corner where the scraping is the worst.
