Dinan Spring Ride Heights?

I have a 2014 RWD M235i. I’m considering Dinan springs on it. From what I’ve read, they will lower my front 1/2” and the rear 1”. Now I just picked this car up CPO, I’m not sure how much the stock springs have settled, so I’m not sure if I want the front lowered any more if the Dinan’s would bring it down more. Is that 1/2” based on new stock springs, or settled? Would anyone with a RWD M235i that is on Dinan springs be willing to measure from the ground to the fender, front and back, for me for comparison? Thanks in advance.

'15 RWD M235 on Dinan springs. To the floor adds tires. I'm on stock PSS. Been on for 6k miles.

Front: 24 7/8, 25

Rear: 25, 25 1/4

My garage floor is not perfectly level for drainage which accounts for the differences.

Wow! That’s pretty level. That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

For comparison, here are my numbers for a 2014 RWD M235 on stock wheels and PSS's at 35K miles:

Front: 25 1/4, 25 3/8
Rear: 25 1/2, 25 5/8

The ideal way to measure a drop is from the middle of the center cap to the bottom edge of the fender.
