H&R says 1.5" front/ 1.4"rear and I think this is accurate. I pretty much got a level drop out of my wagon so a sedan should be very slightly higher in the rear. It looked pretty good, I actually had a guy with Prodrives on his wagon comment that mine looked better. They work well too, very "stock-like" ride due to the progressive coils and in combo with 22mm of sway at the rear and max neg camber at the front, understeer is GONE!
And no it's not your eyes, those are the factory 17s.

not to be a killjoy but...
i have these springs too, and i can say without a doubt that these are nowhere near stock-like in ride quality.
if i were to describe these springs, i would use the word "moderatly harsh"
not meant to dissuade anyone from buying these springs just an fyi comment based on my experience

Great, thanks for the help, now I won't be able to give them away.
Seriously though, at least in the Subaru community, I think the H&Rs are underrated. The drop looks good and functionally is as low as you want to go with struts. You can load the back of the car without getting excess sag. And they don't screw up the handling. I had Eibachs previously and couldn't say the same.
And as far as the harshness I pretty much felt the same way until I took them off, the stock springs were not as plush as I remembered.

Damn these have been for sale for a long time and people keep lowballing you.
If these are not sold by the end of July PM me and I'll take them off your hands for 100 dollars
