Default Lowering springs drop compared to vehicle ride height drop

I contacted RS-R about the measurement of the drop they have listed for their lowering springs. They said the measurement is a suspension drop, not the vehicle ride height drop, which is measured at the center of the wheel from the ground to the bottom of the fender or quarter panel. Can anyone who has installed lowering springs tell me how much difference there is, if any, between the two measurements ? Thanks

not sure what your question really is.......but it for sure is noticeably lower.......the seat is definitely closer to the ground so when you go in and out of your car you'll know what i'm talking about

also the tires sit pretty flush car......car maybe like 2 inches off the ground

Just trying to get an actual measurement on how much lower the car sits from stock height to height after springs are installed and what spring kit was used. Thanks
