Do AGX's lower a B13? Measurements needed.

OK guys, I need your help again. While working on the high rate spring deal
(that has become a full time, unpaid job for me), we seem to have uncovered
the possibility that AGX shocks lower the car.

When Hyperco engineered the 1st gen spring, all measurements were based on a
car with stock springs and shocks. Using these measurements they calculated
a 1.4" drop front, and 1.25" drop rear, which worked great with stock
struts. Once people started using the springs with AGX's the cars were
riding too low.

In the following pictures the car with the B14 wheels has stock springs with
AGX shocks, while the other car has Hypercoil 1st generation springs with
AGX shocks. It's clear to see that the ride height of the car with stock
springs is lower than stock.

What I need is measurements on all 4 corners of a B13 with stock springs and
shocks, and the same measurements of a B13 with stock springs and AGX's.

Please make sure that;
1) Your trunk is empty
2) Tell me how much gas is in the tank
3) You do this on a level surface
4) Tell me how many miles are on the car.

Please measure as shown in this picture

As you all know, every 1/4" of travel counts on a B13, and these
measurements will go a long way to helping manufacture a product that's
going to do a great job.
Thanks a bunch,

Chris
