Sorry I didn't want to sound like I was calling you out or anything. I have measured 2 GT3's before, one in a level garage, another (new) in a dealer show room. Both came in at 27.25" on the money F and R. I drove myself nuts when trying to get my measurements right when I realized how little of a slant it takes to throw off height numbers.

I know what you mean. I did that with my F80 M3 and KW coils. I spent days on end tweaking them in my garage over and over again to get my car exactly how I wanted. Taking measurements from all kinds of flat spots I would drive to measure from...lol. And I know exactly what you mean. It does make a difference.

GTS (SPASM) is not lower than a GT3 (27.25" all 4). Make sure the car is on level ground when you measure, otherwise the readings will be off. For instance where my car is parked in my garage (which looks to the eye level) currently shows 26.5" in front, but in reality on perfectly level ground its 27".
4 corners. I’ll have to measure again on a more level surface. Not sure how much of a difference it’ll show but I assume at least a tiny bit.

Im not suggesting it is lower than a GT3. I just keep seeing fender well measurements and was curious to see where SPASM was at on my car. Thats what I got measurement I got at work. Ill measure it again somewhere else. Makes no difference to me. Im happy with my ride height. I was just curious.
27.25" on the rear.. I can't get my finger between the tire and arch

can you post a few pictures from different angles, really curious to see. Mine with stock wheels/suspension were 28" +- maybe 1/8" bot front and rear.

Mine is about the same at the rear and perfect for my liking, wish the front could be the same but its already scraping much more than stock and is probably the most i'm willing to suffer, besides the fact that there's no way it'll have an acceptable ride if I lower the front another half inch.

How can I know for sure I got the GT3 Touring map uploaded to the DSC? I feel like i did everything right and with just a ride around the block can feel(or think I feel) a difference but am still not 100% sure. Tried calling DSC but they're already closed.

And I remeasured at home and got way different numbers than this am at work.
Now it is showing 27.75 to 28 all around. That’s a big difference. I liked 27 to 27.25 more. Lol. But not enough to lower mine.

As good as it looks there's just something about the lowered look that cant be replaced even at the cost of the perfect ride of a stock car.

I feel you on that but i think now that I got the GT3 Touring map on the DSC i'm beginning to like the ride much more. Haven't had a chance to get it on the freeway yet but I have a feeling it'll be just fine. It actually drove really well on the freeway before I installed the DSC with the preloaded map which made things quite soft but again, i feel the GT3 touring map changed that. Will report back after a nice freeway drive.
