    Like I mentioned in your other post, it's hard to say until you install them. Every spring is different. I'll take a guess since I have the same springs but it will ROUGHLY be 1/4 inch. But that won't mean the rears will drop 1/4 inch too. That's why you have to take them out several times to get everything balanced.
