How far to drop?

[BluePearl03Si]

I like the Eibach 1.5 and 2.0 drop kits.

If I put on 16 or 17 inch wheels, what would be the best for a drop to keep it at or below current height?

[KeNnYtAkEr]

This all depends on ur own taste man. I'd go 17" and the mugen 1.5 drop. thats just me tho.

[!@#$%]

whichever drop you may choose (Id recommend sportline or progress) if you plan on putting 17's on make sure you get 215/45 size tires with them. The tires should completely eliminate the wheel gap.

i suggest 2.5" drop. its the best :)

For you... prolly teins.... :)

But yeah... I would rather have a bit over 2"

How rough are the roads in your area? And how long do you want the stock shocks to last?

[BluePearl03Si]

Our roads are very smooth up here.

I really like Eibach stuff and they have a 2.0 inch kit.

Would that work with 17's and 215/45 tires and could I switch back to my 15's with slicks for 1/4 mile runs?

Or would the camber correction kit leave me stuck with the 17's?

Actually, the Eibach Sportline is a 1.5 and will settle around 1.6-1.75 (Pro Kit - 1.0 / settles ~1.25). I have it on my EP and love it. Not harsh yet firm. Great mod.:D

Why would you wanna lower your car over 2 inches? you would be scrubin like a mother fucker. 1.5-2 is perfect. If you were to lower it 2.5 inches you will be basicly sitting on the ground and every bump will piss you off dude. Be smart. My bro lowered his 1.5 and it still scrubs and shit but its perfect. But i guess its just me. No offense guys-Andy

I think tein s tech springs would be perfect. I like drop with 215/45/17. 1 1/2 gap all around.

sorry bro.. our cars come as 4x4's... over 2" drop is not over doing it.. have neuspeed race drop like 2.25-2.5" drop and i sitll have gap. not even closing to rubbing.

also, i dont like the tein springs only cuz they're not made for ours cars. = diff spring rates.

Depends again on your style, show or performance. For show, there's no max, just as long as you can turn the steering wheel. For perf, I wouldn't recommend going more than 2", unless you're going for the tracks(stricly racing)

I have 2.5 in the front and 2 1/4 in the rear. I don't scrape "like a motherfucker." I'm not rubbing either. Plus, it's a pretty nice drop. Wanna see? Here's a picture I took of my own car recently at the CHB meet:
