            are they all the way down in the front and rear

            because the rear looks like 2.5" and the front like 2.7"

                No, not all the way down.

                I measured the bodyline (not the fender line) between my car and my dad's car.

                  the lowest that the GC;s go is 2.7" all around , and i have it at 2.7 cause mine is all the way down in teh front and the back i have a bit more then .5" to go

                    Maybe I got the short springs or something, I just measured it vs. my dad's car. Same tire size (different brands though) and his is a stock eta, mine is a lowered i. both 4 door, and both measured from the same place.

                        Well you should measure your car vs. someone else, because you are 1/2" lower than mine in the front, because my oil pan is 3.75" off the ground last time I measured.

                            We all know your tire size is off :P But your overall tire size isn't the same as stock?
