Ride height

I went over to my buddy's place the other day and parked next to his S4 GXL. I noticed right away that my S5 vert stood a good inch highre than his?!?!?! Do S5's have a higher ride height or is it just a convertible thing?

your buddies car might have slightly worn shocks or springs causing it to sit a triffle lower.

Ask him, if he hasn't touched the springs I vote shocks wearing out. When I put my 1.5" drop springs it actually lifted the car up a little....go figure.

I couldn't get out of my driveway because of this. I thought that new springs/struts would drop it to much, but it lifted it up.
