    Looks to be about an inch to 1.2"...do you not know what kind of springs you have or are these coilovers?

    I believe he has coilovers (ground control) and I agree with you on that it looks like a 1.2" drop

    Talking and the verdict is .......

    Ok so the consensus is 1.25" - 1.5" ?

    Less of a drop than Sportlines or a Tein drop?

    I wanted to go with a ProKit drop but this is the highest the Ground Controls will go :( :(

    If anything go lower. Slips look like crap with that much wheel gap.

    I think it looks good personally. You can definatly tell its lowered! You dont need your wheel inside your fender completely! haha It is in fact a street car and you have to be realistic alot of roads suck ass wherever you are in the US. Goodjob I have GCs on my car right now but im taking them out and putting in Tein S. Tech springs and I am hoping they are right around that hieght! later:D

    go lower. imo if your going to drop your car, atleast drop it to the edge of the tire or where u can put 1-2 fingers between wheel and fender.

    I'd say keep the back where it is, but lower the front a tad more.

    the reason why i say it is 1.5 inches is because he has a shorter wheel/tire combo which would create a lil extra gap:) kinda like having 195 55 15s on our car-makes for more gap;)

    it looks low enough imo...not for me personally, but it's still good. I assume you either did that because you don't have aftermarket shocks, or that's just what your going for, if so, why not just buy prokit?

    I was planning on getting springs but I was worried about the rear being lower than the front. I hate that look of the car squatting. This way I can tweak the drop how ever I want.
