I am about 3" lower than stock, about an inch above the tires, just enough so they don't hit the fender over bumps(tire sidewall just barely sticks out my wide CCWs.)

I suspect the only variable was the caliper? Using the same pads, rotors and SS lines as OEM? And the OEM caliper was not worn out?
