First li's same height?

I have an ul menu with li's:

Here the JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uvkQp/

There are 3 Top item li's on every row then the subitems under it and then again 3 Top items with subitems under it. How can i get that the Top item li's are even in height everytime (biggest hight with the most Subitems inside it).

HTML:

<ul class="menu">
    <li>
         <a href="#">Top item</a>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
         </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
         <a href="#">Top item</a>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
         </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
         <a href="#">Top item</a>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
         </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
         <a href="#">Top item</a>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
         </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
         <a href="#">Top item</a>
         <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
             <li><a href="#">Subitem</a></li>
         </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Here is my solution:

$("ul.menu > li:nth-child(3n+1)").css("clear","both");

Please find the fiddle here. http://jsfiddle.net/ardeezstyle/aBUhJ/

Here is the code

$(function(){
    maxH=0;
    $('.menu > li').each(function(){
        maxH = $(this).height() > maxH ? $(this).height() : maxH;
    })
    $('.menu > li').height(maxH);
});
