Measuring from the ground through the center of the wheel to the bottom of fender lip this one is 25in front and 25 1/4 in back it gives it a 1 degree rake. Mine has been lowered for two weeks and driven every day has not scraped yet. Everyone is right buy the bar!!

Thanks for the pics, all....I can't wait to finally be rid of the schoolbus ride height! 
All your cars look simply outstanding. So here I am trying to look critically at everyone's respective car height, and in no time I find myself slipping into pure admiration. Funny how even when you own one, you still never tire of looking at those gorgeous lines!
John, the latter half of your user name is what I'll be after this "little" upgrade. Then you add insult to injury by posting the rims I want. Simply stunning!!! (but alas, not for some time...).
I appreciate all the feedback guys! Take care.

Just to add to the mix. I have mine at RS drive height. My personal opinion is if your run 17" wheels the car looks better at ROW ride height. If you run 18" wheels it looks better at RS drive height. I run 18's with the car so I put it at RS spec with a more agressive alignment after lowering. I'm running -2.5 degrees of camber on all 4 corners.
FPB: I have one but have yet to install it - I like the idea of keeping my car on a diet and it is unnecessary weight. I don't frequently hit mine, so it hasn't been a necessity for me. I do take driveways at an agle....
Cheers,
Boris

boostid,
They are 225/40 and 285/30. As far as I know they are bone stock for the MY02 wheels. They came as a set from Gert. I will probably not keep the P-zeros on changout.. a bit noisy.. .probably go back to S02's or 3's.

OK, I have a question. I remember reading that the ROW springs in the front are not different that the back but I also read and see from posts tha the entire car is lowered. Which is correct? I do not track my car (maybe a DE or two per year) and am considering Bilstein HD and Eibach springs. Simple solution. Would love to hear your opinions, the alternative is ROW springs or pay up for PSS9s.

Those of you who have lowered your car: did the ride height settle to a slightly lower height after a bit of time on the new shocks/springs? Did the rear drop more than front?
Thanks!
Thanks!
