H&r and eibachs fender to ground measurements?

I was wondering if you guys would be kind enough to help me out. i would like some H&R and eibachs fender to ground measurements..

The Eibachs should lower the front,but the rear seems to be lower.
On so many pictures ive seen here it doesnt seem that way.

I saw gansta999 and hes on H&R's.His car looks lower than the eibachs setup . He looks like hes on coilovers. May its he is using shorter tires??

i hope you guys can help me out.

Thanks

Sorry i dont have h&r's to measure for you but heres some helpful info. Depsite the advertised drop heights, the Eibachs and the H&R's usually always run lower especially when they settle in. This is true for many other makes of cars. The Eibachs always and H&R's always run lower than they advertise. As for the drop distance between the two, the H&R's go close to 1/2" lower all around than the Eibachs do. So hopefully that will answer your question. If you want to go as low as you possibly can with springs, go H&R. If you want a decent but conservative drop, go Eibach. Hope this helps!

Just installed H&R sport springs on a friends car.

H&R sport springs, 1.3 f 1.2r 245/40/19 / 275/35/19 center to fender 14" all around, I guess x2 straight to the ground.

Best drop on springs I've seen for a Sedan, because it adds that nice rake, I actually run my coilovers at the identical height, 14" all around.

My car actually gets lower with the stocks on than with the 20"s. My car is having some work done to it and it will be back tomorrow or Tuesday and I'll do the measurement for you. As for the drop being lower than eibachs it is. If you go by advertised drop for the H&R always add .35 drop front and rear.

Here's another thread on G35 that's helpful. I'm on B&G S2 springs and they're very similar to H&Rs a pretty aggressive drop, 25 5/8" front and 26 1/8" rear to the fenders on 245/35/20s

TI had the springs installed straight with the shocks so I don't know how it would have rode with just the springs. From what I've heard is that the stock shocks will go out much quicker. I still haven't gotten my car back from my mechanic when I do I'll measure it anyway for you. The ride now is a little harsh but I can guarantee that it's the tires on my rims. They are bald and super noisy and once they get replaced I'll have a better idea. Handling wise it's much better than the eibach springs but a little under dampened.
