Stock Spring Pad Sizes - A Survey

Hey Guys,

Finally threw in my H&R Super Sports with 5-dot (21mm) pads front, 2-dot (17mm) pads rear. The result was a net 2.25 inch drop (bigger drop than I calculated).

My stock pads were 2-dots all the way around.

I know we've discussed how we've had different stock pad sizes. Let's post them all up here to gather some data on this.


Attached are some pics post-install.

do you have a 1½ finger gap front and 2 finger rear?
If yes, drop is like euro AMG spring height.

if you have 2 finger gap up front then your car was raised a bit from euro stance.

H&R's Super sport springs these drops the car more than standard H&R's?

I have about 1 1/2 finger gap front; 1 finger gap rear. Super sports drop more than standard H&R's (Sports).
