One pic would've been excusable, but 4 pics!?

But seriously, please re-measure and post updated pics
I'm curious to see what your measurements are.

Where is the love??

Damn... thought I was helping out others who might be unfamiliar with springs, like me. Best I could do as a 1 man operation.

Lorinzo, it's all in fun here

Seriously, I'm curious about your front and rear suspension measurements. When I purchased my car, I believe it was previously lowered. I know for a fact that it's not H&R Sport, but I suspect that it's the Eibach pro-kit. When you get a chance, please measure from the hub to the fender (start with 0" at the hub and measure up).
