How much of a drop do I have?
2011 SS, recently purchased. Suspension mods...BMR Springs, Sways, rear control arms, trailing arms, toe-rods. From what I can tell, has the original struts. Tire size: F: 265/35r20, R: 305/30r20.
Trying to figure out what springs are installed (how much of a drop). I love the look of it, but the ride is harsh over bumps (the roads around here SUCK), so I'm thinking of switching to a spring with a little less of a drop. Sooo, I measured from the ground up to fender (over the tire). F: 27-5/8", R: 28-1/4". Tire OD is 27.3". Any educated guesses would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm thinking they are a 1.4" drop which is the lowest that BMR makes. Measured from the bottom wheel lip to fender, F is 25-1/8" and R is 25-3/4"...which is around 2 full inches lower that stock...no wonder it rides a little harsh. I'll probably swap to a 1" drop.

Measure from the lower wheel lip to top of fender arch. For ref my car stock with 50 miles on it was 26.875” f and 27.15” r. F to r rake or hieght difference is 5-10 mm.
