Who are you?
It's called the carrying height and what it should be and where to measure it is in the Oldsmobile chassis service manual.
If you don't have one your next question better not be "How do I change the springs??".

Yes, if your wanting to keep your ride height stock go after the stock replacement springs. I use the Chassis Service Manual like a Bible when I tinker with my cars. If you don't have one I'd strongly encourage you to pick one up. They're on ebay all the time, here's an example of one:
