Favor: measure to top of wheel wells?

Loving my KW V3s but visually it just looks like the shop put it lower than I asked. I was too dumb to measure myself beforehand...could someone do me a solid and please measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well on each wheel?

Not sure what you need, but I can measure my car, it's stock competition pack.
I guess you want someone with a KW system to measure?

But I can get you stock measurements if you want.

I usually measure from the center of the wheel (BMW rondell) to the wheel arc as that gives you a good consistent measurement.

that measurement works perfectly and stock comp pack is just fine. My goal was ~20mm total drop, so I'd expect ~10mm lower than what you measure.

very much appreciated!

What I got on my car from the center of the BMW rondell to the wheel arc was:

Front 38,3cm and rear 35,5cm.

My car sits in my garage on a level surface so should be quite accurate.

That said, front tire gap is about 30-35mm, rear about 10-15mm.

I'd say you could drop 15-20mm front, but not more than 5-10mm rear on my car.

Hope this helps.
