IMO= In my opinion

Your wheels look so small lol but with those tires and the bodykit I say maybe 1.5 all around to be safe.

i'm a fan of 1/2 - 1 inch..............................from the ground

go tanabe DF210 springs 2.2 fr 1.5 rr drop.

>

I just ordered those, do you have them on your car, are they comfortable? is tanabe a reputable company like tein and eibach?

i was gonna get them until i figured out that my 404 sides your scrape like there's no tomorrow yes tanabe is up there with their products. the df's are the low soft ones.....the gf are the sporty minor drop ones......and the nf is just for style.

With that bodykit you probably don't want to lower your car too far.. or do you?

I have the df210 and the drop is not 2.2 inches... it is only slightly over 1 3/4 inches up front and a little less in the rear... But, if you are planning on lowering your car really low, and have the monetary units availabile to do so, i'd suggest getting some adjustable coilovers like the tein's malpaso has Here or the ksports tim86 has Here. in a few weeks i will have the tanabe pro s-oc type I coilovers. if anyone is interested here is the thread where we are having a discussion on the tanabe coilovers. Here.,

here is a pic of the ground clearance on the tanabe df210's which is not as much of a drop as i want .

did you give your springs time to settle??

cuz look here

that picture is a pretty recent one, and i have had them on for maybe two years so i'm pretty sure they were settled in

comfortable, and great quality.

drop is a bit more agressive than teins and the ride is a tad softer, they also handle great!

i say go for the tanabe drop, will complete your look and is affordable
