according to H&R's website, the springs give a 1.0 inch drop in the rear and 1.2 inches in the front.

The S Techs should be about 1/4" lower then the H&Rs.

You should post the same type pics with your H&R springs so we can all see the difference

Wow, it shouldn't be. That's kinda crazy. The sides should be a good reference but the frnt and back could be off depending on the camera angle.

The car is definitely a lot stiffer but not rattle your teeth out stiff.. The handling is amazing and to me and makes up for the stiff ride... On a nicely paved road the car feels stock but if you hit a little pot hole or if they change pavements in the street and there is a little bit of a increase in height on the new pavement (may not be super clear... sorry) you will notice a difference where as before the stock suspension would just cushion the change.. Makes my radar detector rattle now and before it was silent. Never ridden in a elbach g35 so i cant really give you a good comparison... All in all the drop has been well worth it to me so far.. Given a few people rides and didnt say anything about it riding much stiffer.. If driveways/speedbumps arent a problem where you live.. i say go for the H&Rs
