Sometimes I wish I had done more research and went with other springs or coils, but then again, for a daily driver on harsh Memphis roads, the sport cup kit did the trick for me.

I can't imagine the Touring would do much 1/4"?

I did add the re-inforcement plates to the car, which would account for a slight raise in the front (installed under the towers) but not the rear (installed on top).

Yep, about 1/4 inch. Not worth it to me. But, if you want a stiffer ride and like the stock ZHP ride height, then touring cup is the one for you. The Sport kit will erase fender to wheel gap just as BP mentioned

I have the touring cup kit installed. It's definitely more than 1/4 of an inch drop. It is supposed to be .75inches front and .25inches rear drop. It's probably more like 1 inch front and .75 rear for me. No idea why its lower but I definitely like it.

Thanks!
- and I've always wanted a simple star style 5-spoke wheel for the ZHP, and the easiness in cleaning them - (probably about 10x easier when I think of how i labored to get the ZHP wheels clean) is an added bonus for sure. Really need to get some better pics with the DSLR, but it rained today a lot, and the car is dirty again :(

Pics are at the bottom of this post.

The pics aren't that great but I think they do the job.
