Are my Steeda Progressive springs supposed to drop the car this much?

I just installed some Progressives and they dropped the car a lot more than I was expecting. Does this look correct? Other than the springs, the car is 100% stock suspension all the way around. Normally this drop would be cool but I get pretty decent rubbing on the driver front fender (where the fender meets the bumper), the rest of the car has zero rubbing. I currently have on order (from Steeda) a set of camber plates. I have already purchased the front ride height spacer kit as well as camber bolts. Will I need to use all these products to resolve my issue? The front tire is a 285/30/20 on a 20x10 wheel, FWIW.

20x10 seems kinda big on the front, what's the offset?

What are the measurements?



They shouldn't be rubbing. Can you vet them against this thread? Sorry - I'm on my mobile device and limited at the moment.

Sorry about the delay, I am seeing about 13 1/4" on the driver side and about 13" on the passenger side. I measured from the center cap to the fender, like in the video. Looks to be about 1/4" difference, but it feels like its more than that. I can't even fit a finger between the fender and the tire on the driver side.

Here’s my car with Steeda progressive springs, Steeda pro-active shocks on a 20x11 +50 with 315/35/20’s. It’s extremely tight fit with stock in spec camber.

Thanks for the pics but the driver front is the only spot I'm having issues with. I'm just going to get an alignment done and see what the print out tells me. If I cant figure it out I'll just go back to stock suspension and be done with it.

Shoot me your contact info to [email protected] - let me see if I can get Jaime to give you a call or run the install by him - he may have some feedback regarding the alignment - have a great night.

I wonder if you got ecoboost progressive springs, I think there's a difference, gt is heavier, if you used EB, imagine it dropping more than anticipated?

I bought these used so anything is possible at this point.
