I dont know if I would do a 1.8" drop. I took the suggestion from most of the guys here and got BMR springs with koni shocks / struts. The car has an really sick stance to it now. I am running a 18x10.5 wheel with 295/35/18 in the rear and 18x9.5 wheel with 275/35/18 in the front. I have the bfgoodrich g-force T/A kdw-2 on the car now. Keep in mind I do have a wingswest body kit on the car and the very front tip of the car sits 5.50" of the ground. I will post pictures tomorrow of the car. Lastly between wheels, tires, springs, shocks / struts and panhard bar, I spent close to 4k on those items alone so make sure you really know what you want.

Threaded collars on the front and shimmed out back to get the legal ride height for my series.

But you can adjust to what ever you want.

How much did the bmr spring and koni's run you? Please post links as well. Im just trying to get the car dropped right now. I really can't stand the way it sits, its too high lol and I will look into getting a full suspension upgrade in the winter. Im just using it as a daily right now and just trying to make it look good and run good while using it as a DD lol

between the springs, shocks, and panhard bar, the cost was about $1400.00. you can check out bmrsuspension for the springs and adjustable panhard bar. I got my set of shocks from summit racing

you could lower it a lot.. but once you mix in long tubes then you start scraping. My eibachs work great and the car handles fine, granted I also have a bunch of BMR parts

Suspension Techniques 1.7" drop springs w/heater hose mod in the rear + 1/2 a coil cut off the in the back. Also found out the I was bottoming out my rear shocks with the stance in the pics. New setup should be on the ground in 2 weeks and it should end up a touch lower than in the pics

BTW the headers are Hooker LTs w/ ball & socket flanges
