I'd love to be able to help you but I didn't notice this at all and I don't have access to either car. It would be interesting if a few forum members could post measurements so we could compare.
Thanks. I swapped out some time ago, but no longer have access to my old 16, especially under the given conditions. May have to wait until things pass and guys back home start parking next to each other at Cars and Coffee like events again. Otherwise, will have it checked out at the dealer--also when things pass.
I would think that you would be able to reduce height in the front if those springs are stiffer and that you might want to raise the rear slightly if those are softer. Assuming the goal of the springs is to mostly keep the car from bottoming out. But who knows, my best guess is that the changes if any are for aerodynamic reasons rather than optimizing suspension travel.
Agreed, it seems to me they would most likely do that to compensate. But no idea if they shortened the front and lengthened the rear or changed anything else.
Wow! Thanks for this. I have over 5 up front. Something's definitely off, and it's not my calibrated eyeball.This methodology might not be the best, let me know if you want me to measure elsewhere.
With both of these measuring points I was able to see the same point on the left and right sides of the car at the same time, so I could line them up and look at the tape very easily. Front was measured at rearmost and lowest point of front splitter (measured just in front of wheel well). Rear was measured at the frontmost and lowest point of rear plastic trim piece.
Front pass 3-13/16"
Front driv 4-1/16"
Rear pass 6-3/8"
Rear driv 6-1/2"
Avg front 3-15/16"
Avg rear 6-7/16"
