S line Avant ride height

[craigpanthercrystal]

Hi All so my Avant is an SE and I have bought some S line springs ready to go on. however I am told my SE already has S line springs fitted by a previous owner.

Could someone help with measuring the distance betwwen wheel arch lip at 12 o clock tot he centre of centre cap please. It may save me from fitting the springs. or perhaps prompt me to go down eibach route.

Just a good side pic will do to say if they are s line e springs.

Thanks Rob, Will try when back over the weekend but I have 17s until I get the new rims on so the gap is misleading at the mo.

Gap will be same with 17 / 18 or 19 as the tyre sidewall profile reduces to suit increasing rim diameters.
That said there is an element or optical illusion of bigger rims making the gap look less.
