Default Lowering Spring Kit Comparisons

Hey everyone, I thought this thread could be useful for people to be able to get a visual comparison on the difference between the H&R spring ride height, the Ford handling pack ride height, and any of the other installs that have been showing up. For instance, personally, I'm about to order my Fiesta soon and am trying figure out which kit I want to go with. Would any faction members who have done suspension upgrades post a straight-on side/profile shot of your car so we can see the differing ride heights between the various kits out there? Thanks!

Here's mine just after the drop. I am running the H&R Sport Springs. Initial result was 1 1/4" all around. I've not checked her lately. Slightly stiffer ride than stock, very satisfied with them.

Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time to do this! It should be really helpful for people considering suspension options to see the different setups all in one place.

This is exactly what I needed as I consider the options out there.
Thanks for starting this thread.

Waiting for the Eibach versions [I know they show up on Tire Rack's site now].
