That is correct. If our stack height was too tall and preloaded the spring, the ride height would change. Our stack height IS the same. Our perch height is the same. And the cars we tested our OEM perch on have the same ride height as OEM. In fact, there are a couple tweeks we could do to loose another 1/8" of perch height and about 1/4" of stack height, but that wouldn't be the same as OEM, which is what our 1M/E90M3 plates are designed for.

The picture is posed. We actually used a square to measure to the fender lip and a pair of calipers to measure to the rocker panel pinch weld. But the info is accurate.
