KW-V1 or ST-V1 coils, anyone have pics at maximum height?

Wanted to get an idea of the range of drop available, does anyone have pics with either of these coils on at the tallest setting?

I'm curious also. Need to replace suspension soon but not looking for anything more than a minimal drop (with maintained ride comfort)

i have mine installed on my LCI XI.
My mechanic said the rear is almost the max, it is like 1 finger gap, so around half inch.

KW V1 Xi

Front Lowering
0.6-1.8in (15-45mm)
Rear Lowering
0.6-1.6in (15-40mm)

ST V1 Xi
Front Lowering
0.6in-1.8in (15-45mm)
Rear Lowering
0.6in-1.6in (15-40mm)

AKA exactly the same.

Galvanized VS Stainless Steel is the only difference.

Thanks Jeff, you had already pointed out that they are the same to me except for the metal, which is why my request is for pics of either of them at maximum height so I can see how it looks. I've read the specs of .6 inches minimum, but I'd like to see how that looks.

Most guys aim for the lower settings so it would be a hard request albeit a reasonable one.

I guess my concern is really about speedbumps and steep driveways as my wife also drives the car and if either of these occur then the coils will not get approved.
