Welcome aboard covo! Looks like you got a nice little ride ride there. As far as the drop is concerned, it kinda depends on how you intend to use the car. Is it for mostly racing, or is it your daily driver?

I'm going to assume its your daily driver, which leaves the decision up to personal preference. If you dont want to have to think about every single bump you go over, maybe do a 1.5"in the front and 1.3" in the back. That'll add looks, performance, but won't make pulling up steep inclines too difficult.

I hope all my rambling helps!

Welcome to the forum!!!!!

I'm going to agree with forty here and say no more than ~1.5" drop all around, could go a lil more without much of a problem but when you get into the 2" drop area you're asking for issues.

welcome welcome. If you're thinking of the 1.5" drop like they suggested then I would look into Tein springs. They are decently priced and I haven't heard anything bad about them. Nice car [sm=smiley20.gif]
