yeh, make sure you get the collars for those sways as the Hotchkis ones do
not seem to have them welded on like how it is on the Stillens.

do you have more picts taken directly from the side of your car?

yeh, kind of hard to tell the ride height because your driveway is on an incline.
Should be a very mild drop though, right? I think I read max 19mm or something
on the rear, front is 15mm drop? The front looks like it's lowered but the rear
is kind of hard to tell. Probably best to let it her settle a little bit as you
mentioned.

yeah...I need to get some better pics. It was more aggresive drop than I thought it would be, but still pretty mild. it's noticable that the car is dropped.

While sitting on level ground, it was 26 inches from the ground to the bottom of the fender wheel, measured straight through 12 and 6 O'Clock on the wheel.

That's a good drop. 26in = 660mm

My car rides 662mm front and 690mm rear on 245/35/18 F and 275/35/19 R.

not comparing apples to apples though as the tire size differences affect
the height when we measure it like this. thus it's better to measure from
center of wheel to the 12 o clock of fender arch...which i don't have
measurements off hand.
