I like it alot. Gonna be doing the same thing here in the next couple weeks minus the lowering. It'll ride like a dream again. Aren't those rims staggered?

I think measuring the wheel gap has too much variability between tire/rim sizes and where on the tire you measure. Wouldn't the real measurement be from the ground to the top of the wheel well/arch? If someone with a stock car could measure this it could be used as the benchmark to see just how much a drop the springs give. Just an idea. Your car is looking awesome with the new paint, once those springs have settled she's gonna look killer!

I think mine sat higher tho since it had the 18's so stock height wouldn't work. But why can't we just add the height of the rim and tire to my measurement to get the same result?
