Default It is hard to see the difference because of the shadow in your wheel wells...

but in person, the ride height of the OEM sport suspension is good. My buddy at work has a Ming Blue with the OEM sport, and it measures just a tiny bit over 26" from ground to top of wheel well, as opposed to 27.25"/26.5" front/rear on tbhe non-sport setup.

Default Heh heh! John, your car looks more raked in front than my coworker's car...

his looks more level front/rear than yours. Do you know the measurements from ground to top of wheel well?

Here is my coworker's car (the ming blue on the right)...Audi row at the bank...

Default Secret is: An un-even driveway and an empty tank of gas.

How should I measure the ride height?

1. Flat surface (obvious)
2. Full tank of gas?
3. Remove all the baby stuff from trunk?
4. Wash all the dirt off? (might weigh it down)
