Can someone that’s had them on for a minute get F/R measurements from the axle centerline to the fender? Trying to compare to H&R.

Saw that…those measurements mean nothing to me. A proper measurement is from axle centerline to fender. Something as simple as an air pressure difference will make those posted numbers null and void. The fact that we have different wheels and tires definitely does.

Yeah, I noticed that. Had the alignment done yesterday. I hope the rear settles a bit but not going to hold my breath.

I will be installing a new set of wheels and tires next week, with new alignment, and will measure again after that.

My H&R’s measure exactly 17” front and rear…but I have a couple hundred lbs of audio gear in the back so it’s lower than others I would assume.

Back for sure will be lower but front should be same. Maybe ours will settle like everyone says? With my stock set up I like the look.

i installed my lethal springs oct 14, currently at 17.5 rear, 17 front. Also note my car is empty so they may sit lower considering you have audio mods done.

The rear of mine absolutely sits lower than the average H&R but I’d like the front down a bit more. Was hoping the Lethals would sit lower then I could just swap the front coils and leave the back alone.

I get stereo equipment will weigh down the back more but what about gas. IS a full tank of gas dramatic difference then empty in weight? what about STs that are a few years old or a lot of miles and bushing ect are wearing out? lol I cant help it my little mind takes off with stuff like this.

Gas is about 6lbs per gallon, so on a 20 gallon tank- 120 lbs. Bushings even when worn aren't likely to significantly affect ride height. Find yourself a 120 lb weight (relatives over Thanksgiving are fair game), throw them in third row and then measure!

IIRC, you reported some coil bind on the H&Rs. True?
