Default H&R Race springs height??

Whoever has a set of H&R Race Springs, I need for you to measure the height. I doubt that the struts would make a difference in height or would they? I have Koni SA. The shop did not install the fronts properly. And now that I replaced parts on the rear bumper, I'm noticing things a little more. Maybe the messed up the rears also.

Plus under hard acceleration I hear a thunk in the rear. It's been that way since I got the car in 2000.

Measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the body.
My rear left is 12 1/4". Rear right is 12 1/2".

Might as well measure the fronts too.
I'd like to compare those also.

After driving for a day the right side has seemed to settle to 12 1/4".
Think the difference was because it was un jack stands for 2 weeks?

Steve, I'd say it just needed to settle, heard of that a bunch before
