Default Those with stock itr springs, wheel gap?

Want to get an idea of how much gap stock itr springs leave when installed. Pics
or a description would be great.

About 3 of my middle fingers, which is about 2 1/8" to 2 1/4".

I have ITR springs/KYB AGX and the gap in the front is exactly like yours man. The rear is more like 2 fingers for me.

That's only when the springs are new and have never been loaded. This is especially true for progressive springs and the rear springs. Linear springs usually don't deform as much, if at all. Really depends on the weight load and spring rate.

A set of Kg/mm DR-Race's that I have used to have the same front spring, free-standing height as the ITR front springs. After I put them on, drove on them for a couple days, and took them off, they're now permanently an inch or two shorter.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the pic is only of the front. Rear is slightly smaller. And, that's my friend's ITR, not my car. I have the same suspension and it sits the same way on my car.
