* * * WARNING: dirty car pictures!

Before lowering, the measurement from the top of the wheelwell to the ground was 26.5" front and 26.25" back. Now it's 24.75" in front and 25.5" in back before settling.

The Eibach Pro-Kits advertise a drop of 1.4" front and 1.3" back (from non-sport height).

I have the Bilstein perches in the default positions 3/5 (middle) in front and 1/4 (bottom) in back. These perch heights are very close to the factory sport shock perching.

I would expect about a .75" drop (from factory sport height) front and back, but the drop I'm seeing is 0.75" in back and 1.75" in front!

I'm wondering if anyone else with a similar setup has seen such a dramatic drop at one or both ends. Or if my car is just a freak of nature :-P

Thanks for your comments.

By "sport springs" I mean aftermarket, not the factory sport springs. Thx.

Always measure from some fixed point such as the wheel hub. Measuring from ground is inherently unreliable due to such factors as variation in tire pressure, etc.
