H&R OE Sport FTG Measurements

[BasicThree]

I put H&R Sport OE Springs on my 2014 S Tronic Car a month or so ago. One thing I noticed right away is that it is lower than I thought in addition to some slight inconsistencies in my Floor to Ground (FTG) measurements. I am on factory 19” Peelers and 10/12mm spacers. Below are my measurements and I would love to see how it compares:

Driver Front: 26 1/8”
Driver Rear: 25 7/8”
Pass Front: 25 15/16”
Pass Rear: 26 1/8”

I sent a few notes to H&R and this is apparently within spec but seems lower than I thought it’d be.

Please let me know how it compares!

Thanks

sounds about right to me. if i remember correctly, my FTG on my old car with H&R OEs was right at 26.5

Thanks for the reply! So here’s where I struggle. If I am a half inch or so lower than 26.5” that to me is out of spec as it really is more of an H&R Sport ride height. Will wait for more inputs as well

to be honest, i think you are splitting hairs. i would also wait a week or so to take measurements (if you haven't already) to see where they "settle"

They will settle a little lower, and after a year or so expect the rears to sag a bit compared to fronts if on stock shocks.

Mine were all at 25 7/8 paired with Bilstein B8 shocks/struts

Thanks all for the input - seems by way of two people I am somewhat in line. Next question - did anyone need camber correction when getting aligned?

Bit of a resurrection - I'm running S5 19" peelers on my S4 with Stasis springs/swaybar. FTG is 25 1/2" - 25 3/4. I'm getting waaay too much rubbing over bumps and was considering changing out the springs for OE Sports.

However - seeing this post makes me think it's not worth it? Also find scraping an issue over driveways. Winters make this worse - but what is the real world drop people are seeing with OE sports?

I have H&R sports springs and needed to get my fronts aligned.
