I'm trying to figure out how much drop these H&Rs have done to my Vert. Will someone measure a stock Vert for me?

Measure from the highest point of the wheel well openings to the pavement, both front and back.

I think these H&Rs have dropped me over 2"! I high center on everything.

Thanks!

I'd do it for you but my motor is out and the front is WAY high without the added weight in there. I'm sure there is someone on here though that can help. TTT for you.

With 245/45/17's on all four corners - I'm sitting at 28.375" from center of wheel well opening to floor. Hope this helps - Art

Art, it does help. Thanks

My measurements were 25.5" front, 26.25 back. So, it looks like these H&Rs have dropped the car almost 3" in the front, and a little over 2" in the back. No wonder I'm dragging!

I think I will pick up a set of FMS springs for a Vert.

3"!!! Holy crap. Mine can barely go over any curbes or speed bumps without some fancy manovering, and its down 2". Probably a dumb question, but did you reinstall the rubber spring isolators?

I have to look. I didn't put them in.

I hear that leaving them out will drop it an additional 1/2". Might help to put them back in, but then you'd still be probably 2.5" lower than stock

If you get poly isolators they will make it higher than the stock ones.

The rubber isolators are installed. It must be the H&R 94-06 springs that have dropped the car so low.

Thanks,
