Default Measurements Please!

Hey everyone, can those of you that have the EIBACH SPORTLINE springs on your car chime in and help me with some measurements?

I need 4 corner measurements,

easiest way is to place the measuring tape right up against the center of the wheel and take the measurement at the fender and quarter panel right at the end of the gap.

I realize that there are variables, just curious what we will find and I need to know for a project I am working on.

Thanks.

Thanks man, I will post mine if I can remember tomorrow at the shop.

Its for my 2000 SS vert that I'm putting adjustable coilsovers on, and I'm just curious if people see a slight difference from fender to fender also.

What size wheels/tires you running?

Interesting results guys.

I installed a BMR tubular K member, upper and lower A-arms on my SS and it raised the front of the car up considrably because of the weight savings.

That is the main reason for the coil overs. Add that to the fact that it's a Vert, and there a bit of extra weight in the rear, so I was rollin with a "Cali Lift" on my car for a while.

Here were my measurements with the tubular front end:

Front - 27 (LT to RT variance of .5 inch)
Rear - 26 (LT to RT variance of .5 inch)

I am gonna adjust the coil overs to get the front about 1/4 or 1/2 inch lower than Sportlines on a coupe with non-tubular (stock) front end parts. The rears are not adjustable, so I put in a set of "Drag Bags" and I can adjust the pressure to get plus or minus 1/2 inch if I need.

Thanks for the help guys.

If anyone else has measurements with Sportlines, I'd appreciate it.
