I lowered my car about a year ago and when I was doing it, I did it in a rush and never paid any attention to how low I dropped it. I only measured the distance between the top of each wheel and the fender and made sure that they were all equal or pretty close to it.
How can I measure how much of a drop I have from stock height?
 
GoMeasure the distance of wheel gap on a stock car.

Than from the ground up/down which ever way you prefer on your car, hoping you still have stock wheels on, you'll have an idea.
 
trying to find that out , u will need the account for your car hieght, rim size , tire size , hieght of a stock eclipse and there rim and wheel size
 
You must take into account the possible size differences in overall tire diameter. This will affect the distance from the tire to the fender.

Take the measurement from the top of the oem rim, (or the center of the rim if they are aftermarket) to the bottom of the fender. Take that number and compare it to a factory suspension equipped vehicle.
