I'm sure that would look bad ass... be careful you don't mess up your alignment and stuff dropping it 2 inches... usually 1 3/4" is all you can go w/o C/C plates

I had mine dropped 2" and it looked straight up awesome. I did have CC plates though which makes a huge difference and have since swapped my springs out for FMS C rate springs. These are only about a 1" drop but hella better for daily driving. With the 2" drop my car would hold the road like a mother but road like a lumber wagon lol.

I did a 2" (maybe 2 1/4") drop with 225/245's /50/16's on ponies on my 90 LX, and it looks great, all the gap is gone, I am not using CC plates though.

OT: You may find the BBK c/c plates dont give you much adjustment. I had those before and the shop could never get them to the settings I wanted. Went to MM plates and fixed all those problems...
