Default Those with lowering springs, what are your measurements?

I'm talking about the height of your car, of course.

I've had cut stock springs on my car for about 6 years now and I think it's time for a change. My front wheel well sits 26" from the ground and the rear 26.5" (with no isolator). I love my drop and just doing a search on here, it seems most lowering springs put you in the 26.5-27.5" range, which I'd want a little lower.

So if you have lowering springs, please post which ones you have and what your car measures in the front and rear from the ground. I want quality springs that can provide the same drop, but I don't know if that exists.

Yes, I know wheel/tire diameter plays a role in height, so I'm looking for normal 275/40/17 or 275/35/18 measurements.

Front sits right at 26" and the rear is at 26 1/4"
I love how it sits. ive got 275/40/17 all around

Not exactly what you want, but there are a few measurements with lots of pics to get a general idea of how some of these drops look.

Yeah I've visited that thread several times. I'm just trying to devote a thread to numbers instead of pictures.
