Dimensions After Drop ?

[askiles]

I just installed a set of H&R Sport springs 2 days ago, and measured before and after. I measured the height from the concrete floor to the fender lip, directly in the center of the wheel. This is what I came out with...

Fronts Pre-Drop - 26 7/8"
Rears Pre-Drop - 26 11/16"

Fronts Post Drop - 26"
Rears Post Drop - 26" (Driver's) & 25 7/8" (Passenger's)

Front Drop Total = 7/8"
Rear Drop Total = 11/16" & 13/16"

This comes out to nearly the same drop in the front, as in the rear. Is this the same with everyone else? I was actually hoping for less of a drop in the rear, and a little more of a drop in the front! My 305-30-19's do rub the fender every once and awhile. Especially when I had 3 1/2 people (7 month old) in the car tonight. I had to drive very carefully, with the EDC set to Sport. If I keep having a problem, I will either have to throw the stock springs back in, or change tires. In Nitto Invos, I can go to a 315-25-19, and that will give me about 1/2" more clearance, and give me a wider tire. I would win both ways. This would mean that I would have to buy new tires though, and I don't really want to do that, as I just bought these.

Let me know what measurements you guys may have come up with when lowering. Don't forget to tell which suspension you are running.

I'll have to measure and I'll let you know. You do realize that the suspension will settle some right? Just drive it a little to get the suspension to load and unload. Then align the car. Whenever I get the measurements, I'll post them on here.

Thanks! The suspension has settled quite a bit from where it originally sat right after installation. I don't think it will settle much more. Your measurments are greatly appreciated. I am sure they will differ from mine, unless you have the same size wheels and tires, so please also list your wheels and tires.

Mine - 275/30/19's & 305/30/19's
