Different ride height same springs and wheel size

Swift springs only lower the car about 1 inch. There is no way there is one inch difference due to the same diameter wheels.

Have you compared car one with another stock Z? Perhaps car one has the stock springs?

why does car 2 ride 1 inch lower then car 1?

before you tell me that tire size is different, i measured from the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender. Dealer mechanic told that custom wheels (regardless that they're also 19s) will make ride height different but that doesn't make sense to me.
