that's the size wheels/tires i have, but i didn't notice much increase in performance.

i get bad tire hop when i try to launch (seems worse than before), and the body roll really kills my handling.

i'm hoping i'll get better handling/traction when i drop.

Upgrade your swaybars!

Major as is...Cam, NOS that kinda thing? I was hoping I get your opinion. How much extra drop should I expect from Tockio HP's compared to what I have now 1 finger lower or so?

i don't think the tokico's will drop you much more if any. the perches should be
at a similar height as stock to allow for similar travel.

but they should help your performance/handling/traction by increasing the
damping. your stock shocks were not designed to handle the stiffer aftermarket springs.

i can't wait to get my sportline/blue's on :D

how much drop depends on the spring, not the shocks ;)

major as in head work, cams, nitrous (but even this doesn't really require a vafc).... all in all, i do not think a vafc is worth it, esp since obd2 relearns and will eventually go back to OEM settings on its own

Actually tockios will drop you more because the shock body is shorter compared to the stock ones. At least they are on the 5th gens. Xluben look into that if you get a chance.
