They were prototypes, so no official numbers yet. But my guess is 1.5-2". Feels way more stable during on/off ramps & during braking👍Also comfort wise, feel not much different than the OEM F-Sport springs.

NO Sport+ & only FWD for me

These model springs only stiffen the ride by 5%, at the most, so they feel pretty much stock.
