I didn’t measure, but it’s somewhere around 1.5”. Maybe a little less than that. It’s a good daily driver height IMO. Not too low to be practical.

If anyone does lower their car with the stock sized bump stops still in place, for the love of god, cut one section out of the top of all four stops. On my gray car, I left the stops alone, and it rode on them pretty much all the time. The ride was terrible because the dampers didn’t have any room to work. I took roughly 3/4” out of each of them, and the ride quality this time is 10x better.
Just because you’re not slamming into the stops on every bump doesn’t mean that it’s not riding on them a good bit. This is something that some may not know. It’s about a 1.5” drop with pretty soft springs, and still using the stock size stops isn’t ideal. Taking a little out of them is pretty common in that case, even though ZZP never recommended it from what I’ve seen.

No pictures today. Right before I left work, I sprayed the spoiler with a non-sanding epoxy sealer, then a value shade sealer. Never trust factory applied primer. Next week, I’ll wet sand the sealer perfectly smooth with 800 grit, then paint it Mosaic Black with three coats of clear. I’ve waited so dang long for this spoiler that I really want to be happy with the finished product.

Looks like I'll just mask off the bumper and shoot the emblems like that

With paint, it’s no problem to do it that way. I pulled them out because I tried to tape them off using this spray wrap before, and the mil thickness was way too high for that. I wasn’t happy with how it left the edges.
