1.6'' in front
1.2'' in back

Those are numbers from tein's site, which the springs are made for the 350. So the drop might be a little different but those are the spec drops.

Looks hot Mike! Great taste in mods. However, the one thing I don't care for are the blue city lights.

P.S. Clean your wheels better. I see dirt!

As long as they dont get me a ticket i like them. If i get a ticket then i dont like them so much.

BTW those wheels get dirty going to the end of my drive way! Time for a TSIB!!!!

Yes, Tein S are lower. F-Sport gives you ~1" all around.
