    what is your ride hight?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am trying to get some accurate measurements of lowered cars with Eibach springs.
    I want to drop my car but not too much.
    I noticed that most people here measure from ground to fender which is wrong.
    My car with just FSD shocks:
    F 15 1/8, R 15 inches (from center of wheel to fender)

    My friend's S4
    F 14 1/4, R 13 1/2 inches

    not sure about what's right or wrong, it's just the easiest way to measure. Sure different overall tire dimensions could have 1/4-1/8" difference in the measurement. Finding the exact center of your wheel is often times more of a headache and error inducing than measuring from fender to ground.

    From fender to ground, I'm at 24 7/8th at all four corners for what it's worth.

    how about those without coilovers?
    24.5 is way too low.

    It's low enough to be noticeable, but not low enough to give me any driveability problems.

    I've got KW V2's set at 24 7/8's and have never had any rubbing before. Sounds like a few people have though. The stiffer springs on the V2's might be helping me out?
