Measured from floor to bottom of fender.

My question here to all.
I have GT3 front bumper on 2006 C2s and you all know how low the front spoiler is, and my car still have stock springs on it, and I want to lower it so bad specially the rear, but the front spoiler is already too low…
My friend has same car same front bumper and he has H&R lowering springs on.
The wired thing is, when I Measured the height of the front spoiler for both cars, it was the same heights even with different springs ..
Any one can explain this for me please ??

I have the Eibach's on mine. I have never scraped on anything and it handles better than my Lotus Elise did.
