My 1984 STI is 24.5 in (+/- 0.25in) (Also known as 625mm - metrically).
It may be best to get a half dozen measurements and use their average.

It's springs, not shocks that hold a car up. It might be that you having
sagging springs, or worst, collapsing control arms (I doubt that).
Perhaps someone on list could take a measurement on their "OK" sedan from
the level ground to the top of the rear wheel well lip. That should be an
easy relative measurement to compare by.
