Can someone give me the E92 Eibach or H&R ride height please

Can someone with the E92 Eibach pro kit or H&R's give me the actual F/R ride height from the edge of the fender to the outer edge of the 19" rim at the bottom of the wheel

Thanks

I had H&R, it had about 1mm gap in the front.

I got Eibach, it has about 5mm gap now.

Tomorrow I can provide you the factory ride heights and you can subtract the lowering height from them.

I think he's talking about real world measures with a 245/35/19 or 245/40/18 tire.

The Eibachs are noticeably higher, the H&R's do look much more aggressive in the real world.

Alright here you go:

Ride level height in normal position

Attach tape measure to bottom middle of rim flange and measure to lower edge of wheel arch

19" front
623 mm +/- 10 mm

19" rear
607 mm +/- 10 mm

I am after real world heights for both the H&R and Eibachs using the above method. Not subtracting the claimed drop from the standard height as listed here.

I know what the springs are listed to drop the car by, I just need some actual measurements from someone who has them fitted.

Thanks

While you're at it, can you provide me with the ride height for 18" wheels?
