Ride height the same after hp springs

[Dan2023]

So it’s been a couple of weeks now since I installed the handling package springs, rear stabilizer bar, and the camber plates on my non-handling package Mach 1,
I have to say the ride does feel a lot more stiffer, grounded and tighter both rear and front, my only concern is I know that the springs were not supposed to lower the car drastically, but rather a subtle settle about 0.4” from what I’ve have read, From my measurements, my car sits exactly the same The height has not changed at all,
Any comments or suggestions?

Did you let it settle and drive it before measuring?
I didn’t think the springs were that much different in HP
Splitter and tire diameter make HP lower.

I’ve been driving for about two weeks, as I mentioned it’s only supposed to be a .4 inch difference in the spring ride height but I measure no difference, The wheel diameter does lower the cars appearance as well as the splitter, but it creates a bit of a wheel gap, thus I think that’s where the springs come into play compensating for that minor adjustment,

Same experience here, HP springs made little to no difference in my ride height-it’s within margin of error. It’s an often repeated myth-especially on the Facebook groups. I also don’t consider HP springs worth the effort, not much stiffer and still too soft. A lot of people are missing the tire height difference and then regurgitate things they read and here you are with HP springs lower the car.

tire diameter

Exactly this.

Which would be a drop of 0.6" going from 275/40R19 to 305/30R19.

The same applies to PP2. There is no difference in ride height from the suspension.

My thoughts exactly,

Thanks for sharing this. I've heard people say there is a drop, and some say there isn't one. So it's good to know it's not really a spring thing.

One thing to consider with ride hight (besides tire size) is camber. I'm sure there is some ride hight to be lost with an aggressive camber.

Can post your hight measurements? Floor to top of the wheel wells.
