I have not seen an actual measurement after lowering on here. My primary concern being the front splitter clearance.

I'll post mine after I lower it.

I just came in from measuring. Here are my results on the front end clearance from the ground to the bottom of my splitter. My garage is level so #'s are good to go. The first # is for the front corners of the front fascia. The second # is right in the middle of the front fascia. I have Stage 2 Aero, Carbon Flash. The car is settling, thus the 2 dates:

12/24 - Intitial lowering all the way down on stock bolts = @ 4.75"/5.5".

12/27 - 100 miles later = @ 4.50"/5.25".

It looks like the Z settled in @ a quarter of in inch. It may settle in a bit more but it will be minimal. I just used a tape measure in my garage so #s are all approximate.

I will measure again after the 1st oil change and see if she drops any more.

Do you know what the measurements were prior to lowering?
