I still don't see how .2" could have cause that big of a difference, but sorry for any inconvenience.
DFs on the 300 still leave a gap? hopefully it will settle a little more and close the gap. On a 400, you would have been tucking tire

It's .4" difference! haha (wish I was tucking tire though!). Anyways, I finished up the car yesterday. I'm still having slight rubbing issues I have to resolve on the passenger rear fender.

The ride is more comfortable with the DFs than the H&Rs, but then again the H&Rs are comfy too. There's a smoother feel when hitting bumps on the road, and it seem to reduce some of the road noise.

So in conclusion, I like the DFs better because of the smoother ride. So that hard work for just .4" paid off.

Pics will have to come later; the weather around here is freezing!

I was talking about the DFs between the 3 & 4
Glad you are happy with the DFs. I reasearched for about a month before going with DFs myself, but still ended selling them a few months later for coilovers
hope to see your pics soon.
