Paul,
My new rears were a full 4 inches higher than before replacement. That
settled down about 2 inches and so compared to what it was originally
when I got it, it is higher. Sitting next to other cars at shows it is
easy to tell which have replaced the rear springs cause they are higher.
the ride improvement was enormous.
Cheers!!
Tracy
