[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15976581, member: 124025"] A couple things you may need to consider concerning actual drop. The ride height of the earlier cars are a little higher than the later cars. This is a little deceptive in that the later cars also used taller wheels and tires on the performance packages. The 07-10 models had an iron block which is good for another 100 lbs. over the front wheels. It just makes comparison a bit more difficult. I've seen some vendor sites give stats on earlier vs. later and seen some people that install them complain when the don't get the drop they expected on later cars. My suggestion would be to go through some of the picture threads and when you see the stance you like, hit the owner up for what springs he has. Cars with bigger tires can also fill up wheel wells and make it look lower than it would be if they were sporting lower profiles. Case in point. This is is crappy phone pic of my car with stock SVTPP front springs and dropped about 5/8" in the rear. Front tires are 285/40-19 and rears are 315/35-20. Tire diameters are 28" and 28.8" front and rear respectively. I dropped the rear using adjustable spring seats and 2.5" coil-over springs. I've since installed coil-overs up front and gone down to 27.7" tires front and back. It sits slightly lower than what you see here, some of which is the reduction in tire height.
