Post H&R OEM sport springs actual drop

According to H&R the OEM sport springs will lower your car 3/4" in the front and 1/2" in the rear. Measurements taken from Ramsen's (stock springs) car and my (H&R OEM Sport springs) car, shows that the front will drop 1 1/4" and the rear will drop 1", about 1/2" more all around. I only wish that I had measured MY car before the install. If I can get more stock (no springs, wheels or tires modifications) this drop will be verified. For anyone who's willing to measure, there's 3 different ways you can measure. 1. from the center of each wheel up to the fenderwell lip. 2. from the ground(level concrete, if possible) up to the fenderwell lip measured vertically thru the center of the wheel. 3. at the jacking point to the ground (again level concrete). It'll be interesting to see if these specs will be the same on all TL's. Thanks for your trouble.

I can do it... give me a minute though. I'll definitely do it before I drop mine. I should be getting CT springs & intake very soon!

Thanks Nate. I'll be on vacation until the 3rd. Will check back then. Good luck on your install! Time consuming but it's pretty straightfoward.

Too late, I already bought my H&R OE Springs from Snook. I haven't had the time to install them yet. I will try to take measurements if I remember. But the measurements will be with the aftermarket rims, not stock rims.

U have to give the springs time to 'settle' it may drop more before it stays at a certain height.
