make sure your rim is no bigger than 18x7.5 or else you will run into the problem that I am having right now. A guy over on E-H has his dropperd 3in and he doesnt rub on 18's. Depending on where you live and if you have a front lip or bodykit I would suggest you take that into consideration. I would not drop my car that low if you live in a very hilly neighborhood cuz you will end up cracking your lip or will bottom out everywhere. 2.25 in the front and 2in in the rear and you should be good.

yup.. i definitly agree with HERE..i think any lower than that u'll def run into problems. just dont get 19's and drop it lower than 2"...u'll def rub(when u hit a bump or dip)

every once in a while i would still rub with this setup. when i made a really hard right turn or if i hit a bump. u also need to be carefull if u have people in the car.
