Need stock seat height

Could somebody measure the height of the seat at the front from the floor for me? i'm working on seat risers for my bucket seats, and started off by cutting one down to 2 1/2", but that seems to make the seat too tall, so I'm thinking instead of risers, I may just use some 1 inch heavy spacers. I'd sure like a stock seat height for reference though, as without the nose sheetmetal on the car, it's hard to get a correct perspective. I'm thinking I remembered my old original seat at 11" or so. Thanks

Thanks guys.  Hope that helps.  "Above & beyond" is a little much though. 
Just thought you would like to see where & how I measured this & I do believe in the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words.  Seemed to me that just the front height wasn't enough without knowing where your butt is supposed to be.  Getting the captions to make sense was harder & took longer than taking the pix. 
Takes me forever to write anything.  : (
