Default Koni SA lower perch ?

How much does the lower perch lower the front of the car? I have BMR Springs and I want to use the lower perch when I install but I'm worried it might be too low for a daily driver.

About 1" (measure the difference between the notches, that's your additional drop. I'd think that will be pretty low (probably too low).

Yeah thats too low. Shoot the springs lower it an inch already. Maybe I'll just swap out springs if I find that the car isn't low enough for me. I bet I'll be happy with it once it settles. Thanks trackbird.

If you aren't happy with how it looks, I doubt it will settle enough to be really noticeable. I'm not too sure what your other options would be though...

I've seen it on a car. Matter of fact there is a thread over on ls2 that has pics of a Formula with that set up. Its a sticky at the top in the suspension section
