ride height with bilstein HD + eibach springs

Hi,

I want to know from those people who installed the eibach springs and the Bilstein HD shocks, how their ride height is now after the install.

The reason : i have the bilstein shocks and eibach springs but du to some laws here, i need a minimum of ground clearance.

Because some might have different rims tires, please measure from the center of the wheel, to the fender lip (highest point at the fender)
front and rear values will be nice

here are my values (OEM springs and shocks):
from wheel center to fender lip :

rear : 13,97 inches
front : 15,35 inches

br,
EdFred

I have the bilstein hd's installed, but with stock springs and it is relatively close to the same height as stock (I'd didn't measure pre/post install). (I'm probably wrong) But I would think that eibach springs on most shocks would ride similar heights. GL
