Suspension Heights

What is the height difference between the ride height of a normal S then an S with Sport suspension and the JCW suspension.

Thanks,
Shawn

0" for the SS, 10mm for the JCW suspension.

I was under the impression that Sport models were 10MM lower than non-Sport models.

My wheel well gaps are not as bad as those with non-sport suspension.

For what it's worth, I found my non-sport/standard suspension settled almost 1/4" over the first 6 months or so.

I just really want to make sure that if I get the JCW springs I'll see the 10MM drop.

im pretty sure there is no drop between the two.

only the JCW suspension drops it.. not very much though.

Do you guys have 17" wheels? compared to 16" wheels it may look like you have less wheel gap.
