Something is not right here...

It doesn't look like you used the same method for measuring before and after. How did you measure before?

It would've worked better if you went with the 11" mark for the after pics as well. But it does look a lot lower, congrats!

Yeah, that appears to be a 4" drop.

You should've measured from the center of the wheel to the center of the fenderwell OR measured from the ground to the top of the fenderwell- 0 to "x" inches.

If anyone can take this measurement on their stock 550 sport with 245/35/19s, I would greatly appreciate it.

+2 ON that it looks like your tire was at 12" on the before pictures and 15" on the after pics... unless you got a flat i dont think its the same but congrats on the drop im doing my car this weekend
