Default Coilovers

Well i got my coilovers and i was wondering if a 2" drop in the front and a 1.5" drop in the back is good?? or could somone give me a setup that will look really nice with my 17" rims. i want my tires to almost be tucking.

Almost tucking? You're getting coilovers, you might as well go all the way and tuck the whole tire in back (my GC's lowered all the way in back had the fender lip about 1/2" away from the rim lol).

But 2" will have the fender lip right above the front wheel, so you'll be able to turn it and everything no problem. With 17's, you might rub a little around turns if you hit a bump or something (trust me lol). Honestly, I'm a fan of the leveled look... I'd recomend something like 2" in front and 2.5" in back. But really, all these measurements mean nothing.... get the coilovers on your car and just spend an hour or two tweaking the height to where you like it... it's the best way (with coilovers, you wont' actually know how much drop you have anyway).

2" will probably be like right even with the tire, maybe tucking a lil. i'd lower the rear a tiny bit more so it dosnt look so raked. u have coilovers so just play around with the heights untill ur satisfied, thats whats so great about them.
