I'm liking the featherless look on your CETA.

What springs are you running in the front?

You want center of hub to fender measurement. The size of the wheel/tire/amount of air in the tires will change the ground to fender measurement by a lot, making the numbers fairly worthless for comparisons sake against other cars.

BMR's specs were pretty accurate for the amount of drop you get, so you can trust their numbers to get a good idea of what kind of drip to expect.

Was given the BMR kit to include the adjustable panhard bar for Christmas. mine is an SLP car so was already lowered by virtue of their springs...The BMR springs resulted in an additional 3/4" drop all around (total of 1 1/2" per BMR specs)...very pleased with the look and ride. Finally got rid of the nose high "appearance" the SLP look had!
