Looks like it's an AWD machine before the drop.. I didn't like that look either. I have the revamped sportline springs on my car, and it dropped down about as low as yours is right now. The air catch for the radiator will scrap all day without damage, you just have to watch for flying rocks. I have been scraping mine for 2yrs now without damage. I plan on trimming it once I get my car back from the dealership.

Did you get those measurements from the center of the wheels to the fender?? I will have to measure mine too.

Definitely the car looks like off-road mode when stock after seeing the drop.

The measurements were taken centerline of the hub/wheel from the ground to the lip of the fender.

I would be curious to see what the measurments are from the hub to the fender, instead of from the ground. I would like to compare to mine..

I go around speed bumps, the car is already to low for them.

Hey KW,


I received the KW's last week, and have installed the new Vredesteins and wheels. I had some questions for you, and sent a PM a few days ago. What do you think?

LS2 Solstice, I'll try to take a few quick measurements soon.

Howster, missed that one, sorry. PM sent.

I measured around 14 -14.1 inches between middle centre cap and the fender. Front and rear. This was with over 1/2 tank of gas too.

I've raised the car all around again hoping to get another .2 to .25 inches up. This would put me around 27 1/8 inches F and R (or 14.25 inches F and R using centerline hub). It doesn't measure that now exactly as it has to settle.

I had the chance to measure mine today. Eibach sportlines, 14 inches up front from center of hub, and 14.25 in the back. I though we were close but not that close. Your's looks lower..Which is gooder..haha
