Just curious as to how much droop gap (in inches) you're experiencing up front (and rear too if you know).

When you take pics it would be great to also see how much threaded sleeve is available to lower the car further (if you have that in inches too even better!).

I've been very concerned about running out of shock travel and hitting the damper bump stops since Ground Control doesn't use a fully threaded coilover design. However, they told me that their dampers are 2" shorter in length, supposedly making the car ~2" lower right out of the box with the spring perches set at their highest setting. Any truth to this?

Essentially, I want to lower the car -3" and -2" respectively to stock, WITHOUT reaching my bump stops despite driving aggressive at the track. 450 lb spring up front and 350 lb in rear.

You've been a huge help so far!
