Exactly 1.625" from the top groove to the bottom groove.
Fixed!!!
Pic is after I moved clip to lowest position.

Anyway, I appreciate everyone patience and help.
Bad News: Now that I have put on new fronts, the rears are WAY low. I am kind of pissed because the car is OFF CPO but when I bought it I complained about the ride, they said its fine...but it hasn't gotten lower since I bought it. Now that the new fronts are on, the car looks all squatted in the back, I know for sure the rears are dead too. Even worse, news, I HATE the height now, it looks like the car has been lifted.

So, I'm going to be replacing these springs at some point. At least now I know that the shock can be adjusted to fit the new spring once I decide on it.
Good news:
With the right parts finally, complete job front right and left only took 80 minutes in my driveway. not counting the cost of shocks, I saved around $800, maybe even more!!!

BRGR TME, How do you like these shocks so far?
I'm about to change my stock ones but not sure if Bilstein B4 is a good choice.
And they list part# 24-105910 for both sport and standard suspension which kind of confuses me. I have E320 with soft suspension and would like to keep it that way.
By the way, did you install new springs as well or just shocks?
