Did you measure the difference in height? I think it should be lower from my experience. Maybe is the 13inch wheels or that you are using stock shocks. Aftermarket ones would be lower i think.

baz setup looks similar to mine even with 15" rims. i didnt measure (just in fingers) but it is lower. i can see that by the way the chassis scraps the entrance of the garage (before it almost didnt). Your setup is lower saxophonias due to your aftermarket shocks for sure. Cheers

Using the oem EK9 shock dampers with lowering springs would be great.I think those can handle a bit more then oem ej9 shocks.
