Do the sport springs drop the car lower?

Is the S version of the vert lower then then non sport version?

Also do the IPL springs maintain the same height as the sport springs?

Thanks

I don't know about the convertible, but as far as the sedan, the non-sport sits lower then the sport model.
I had read about this before buying my new 2010 non-sport sedan.
When I was at the dealership I did my own measuring, since they had a large selection of sport and non-sport sedans on the lot.
That was 2 years ago, so I don't recall the exact difference. I think it was around .3"

I don't think the non-sports version would be lower than the sport. That wouldn't make much sense. I thought all the sports were lower than non-sports, with the exception of the G37xS, where the AWD Sport is the same height as the AWD non-sport.

Sport suspension is lower than the base. I know this is 100% true for the coupes. The drop is not much of a noticeable one though imo. Me and my friends are S and base and its really hard to notice a difference. If your really trying to reduce the gap between the fender and tire, I would suggest going with aftermarket.

It would honestly shock me if this wasnt the case for the sedan as stated above. The only way the base sedan is lower than the S Sedan would be maybe if the sedan S was an AWD as well(G37xS) vs the standard base sedan. But if youre talkin base sedan vs sedan sport, this wouldnt make any sense. But Im not sure for certain. Just speaking/thinking logically here...

Sport vs IPL as far as the drop goes is supposed to be the exact same.

It is about 1/2" lower. Whether or not that is noticeable depends on the person. Even my neighbor noticed it and asked if my car was lowered. When I got the Eibach springs, he knew right away and asked what I was lowered on.
