Any other additional pics on a level surface? I'm curious to see how well the springs leave the car levels, so if you have a fender to ground measurement from the top of the fender wells, that would be appreciated.
What are the wheel and tire specs? |
Thx! I know, I know... I need to take some better pics, but my car was broken into so still trying to get all of the window and paint work taken care of. When I get it back i'll take some proper pics with a proper camera.
Initial measurements immediately after spring install on a somewhat level surface are as follows Front Left (27.75 before, 26.125 after), Front Right (27.5 before, 25.875 after), Back Left (26.625 before, 25.625 after), Back Right (26.625 before, 25.75 after). I'm sure they'll settle a bit more in the coming weeks, but it's roughly level. The back appears to be ever so slightly lower than the front on some occasions, but it also seems amplified by the beefier wheel/tire setup in the rear.
Wheels are Niche Essen 20x9 et35 front and 20x10 et40 rear. Tires are 245/35 front and 275/30 rear. It's very close in the rear, but no rubbing as of yet and that's regularly driving with 100lb+ german shepherd and 20lb mini aussie in the rear most of the time.
Springs are H&R Sport for F31 Xdrive (28832-2). Really happy with them... saw notes of people talking about sport springs with 20's being unbearable, definitely not the case for me. Amazing how much this whole setup transformed the car!
