Any one using the Hotchkis 1902 F with stock spindles could you tell me fender height from the bottom lip of the wheel well opening and what size tire your running with those springs ,so I check my ride height before I put these springs in ? I have a 87 Elcamino V-8 A/C car with a small block and 225 70 R15 tires on it now and the ride height now with the stock springs from ( Gm spring # 14080054) is at 28 1/2 . Thanks for any help

This is with 2" drop spindles... to be honest I'm not 100% how much of a drop the spindles actually added though, considering the car looks to sit level. The tires are 205/60/15, about 24½" tall. 225/70s will most likely rub, they're about 27½" tall. From a rough guess here I'd figure the lip is about 25" off the ground, if you add half the difference between 205/60s and 225/70s (1½") it will probably be around 26½" from the ground.
