Thumbs up How much am I actually lowered?

I measure 25" from ground to highest point on wheel well opening (to sheet metal, not the rubber). Dumb @ass that I am, I did not measure before making suspension mods.

My S is an '03 AP1 with AP2 wheels and tires............... I would assume the closest to compare to would be an AP2? Not sure if there were any sheet metal changes to the quarters between AP1's and AP2's................ Also have not looked at tire diameter comparison of stock AP1's and stock AP2's, but guessing prettty close.

Looking for some assistance estimating front and rear drop based on the above measurements (25" on all 4 quarters).

Appreciate it,

Mark

What did the S look like with no suspension mods sitting on AP2 wheels and tires? Did it look stock or was it sitting higher than stock?

Looking at the tire specs for AP1 and AP2, the fronts tires are the same diameter....... the rear tires which I have (OEM AP2's) are 0.4" SMALLER in diameter than the OEM AP1's.

Given that info, I should be able to figure out the drop with measurements from a stock AP1.

AP2's are 665mm all round from ground to top of wheel arch.

This is a 30 mm drop from stock

thank you. I'll take a pic in a bit and post, to compare to your 30mm, since that is approx what my drop should be, assuming the 665mm measurement is correct.

I've blown my rear shocks (changed to Espelir springs) so I will be changing back to OEM springs and Koni Sports, set at the 1/2" drop location.
