can't put 1 finger now in the rear
from factory i can put 4 fingers between top of front tire and bottom of well
now well is 1/2 way down tire side wall in the front
so i know i got at least a solid 3" rear drop and 4 " front
but will re-measure to confirm the numbers i posted i am measuring from wheel well bottom to top of tire with standard measuring tape and thru middle of wheel by nissan emblem
will take pics and post
when i was done Friday night at midnight crashed out
Saturday washed car and waxed
put it in my garage
Sunday came and it was raining
christmas came and raining monday
today tuesday was gonna snap shots for you guys and gals but it was raining so i pulled out of garage in the rain and did not want to get wet for the photos
i will post them i promise

i did not know either
but i figured as long as i am putting them in set them at their lowest point
drive car
issues raise a bit
no issues leave alone
no issues as of 30 miles
in all fairness in Palm Beach County we have very good roads

Where I drive the car it gets up and down things just fine. I've driven lowered cars since I first started driving so I get up things that people would not believe such as steep driveways
