Thanks again! Any further info/experience would be great!
The manufacturer of my springs (Suspension Techniques) claimed it would drop my PT Cruiser an EVEN drop of 1.3'', that is NOT what I experienced. Folks who put on Ground Force springs were told by the manufacturer their drop would be 1.5'' front, 1.75'' rear. What they actually got was an even 2'' drop. My point is that you can talk to manufacturers 'til you're blue in the face and you will not get the info you are looking for. For that you need to talk to the folks who have put them on their cars, and get ACTUAL measurements so you'll have an idea of the actual drop you can expect. It really helps to talk with folks who did "before and after" measurements, so you're dealing with hard numbers. There are a lot of springs by different manufacturers represented on these forums, all you have to do is ask the members to come up the numbers until you find what you're looking for.
