so far everything ive been seeing is 1.5 front but what i was looking for was your car measured from a fixed repeatable point to the ground not that i dont appreciate the response i certainly DO let me know

Who's been saying 1.5??? Prior to getting springs I had read only 1.25 front and when I took my after install measurement that's exactly what it turned out to be. 1.25 front and 1.0 back.

Anyways, here are some more measurements.

- From just behind the front wheel, I measured from the lowest part of the rocker panel and it's 7.0 inches to the ground.

- From just in front of the rear wheel, I measured from the lowest part of the rocker panel and it's 8.0 inches to the ground.

- From the point in the front bumper to the ground is 8.5 inches.

I used a plastic ruler (I'm at work - its all I had) so the measurements are probably not exact. But they should be within 1/4 inch. Hope that helps!

just in front of my front wheel is 9.0 and at that point in the bumper 10.5 and back wheel is 9.0 and this is concistant with the others that have sent me measurements looks like 1.5 front 1.0 rear and it makes perfect sense...these springs were either developed for the accord or tl i suspect accord our car is over or about 100lbs heavier up front than tl and approx 26lbs lighter than the tl in the rear ive done the math so whats happening is under the additional load up front our car is droping .25 inches but because of the lighter rear its droping .25 less than spec the comps i think were designed to give a 1.25 f/r but because of weight diff it doesnt work out that way so koni's for me to bring the front back up almost .50 but for you guys that wouldnt mind lower you could do the same thing but bring the back down the .50 either way flat is attainable:d
