Default Hmmm....About yay many inches <holding hand off the ground about yay many inches>.

I actually can't answer your question because I've never mentioned it &amp; can't do it right now, so, surprisingly, a smartass answer seemed to be called for.

Default Haven't measured since I had mine installed, will check when I get home tonight.

The drop certainly is not drastic. The gap at the top of the wheel well seems about the same as the gap on the sides now and it seems like there is a bit more rake than stock.

Default I think it will be more than that, eibachs are supposed to drop about 1.1"

Denny has reported that the ABT springs drop a bit less than an inch. They both use the same design, unlike the H&amp;Rs, which is similar to the stock setup.<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/photodisplay.asp?PIC=abt_ttc_springs.jpg">http://www.stratmosphere.com/photodisplay.asp?PIC=abt_ttc_springs.jpg</a</li></ul>
