Eibach vs H&R real measurements?

I have searched and read about eibach vs hr but no one has given measurements. I want to know from center cap to fender so i know which set truly lowers the front most. I just purchased my 2nd evo x (2015 rr) and Im ready to order springs. I had eibach on my 2008 and loved the drop and I know the eibachs are lowerer than what is advertised. Can someone tell me the true difference? Or maybe guys with each give me a measurement? Thanks a lot

I have H&R springs on my X. I just measured the front, from the center of the axle nut to the bottom of the fender was about 13 3/4 inches.

Thanks for the info and pic. I actually went with eibach and installed them yesterday evening. Mine is measuring 14" exactly right now but I suspect it to be a tad lower after they settle. Btw what front lip do you have?

Yeah they'll definitely settle lower, mine did.

And it's this lip: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ips-stock.html

Was never considering coilovers. The front still sits a tad higher than the rear, but it's barely noticeable. It's like less than 1/4 of a inch

I rolled my fenders just to be safe. My wheels are 18x9.5 +15 with 265/35/18 Achilles ATR Sports. And thanks man amazing what a simple drop and a set of wheels can do for a car
