How much did they really lower the rear of your car??? Did you get a full 2"?? Who made them/where did you buy them? One other thing can you still see the back half of the spring under the quarter??
Thanks in advance!!!!!

They lower your car 2"...asumeing your current springs are brand new. It's anybody's guess as to how much your existing springs have settled.

My springs were new 2 years ago when the last owner put them on,they have zero miles on them though. I realy wanted to know if a full 2" of drop is a reality or an an aproximation.

No one can tell you how much drop or lift your springs will give you. The same springs on two cars of the same year and with the same options will give a different result on each car. The only way to find out is to mount them and take a look. It's not a hard job.

180out thats what I needed to know,I did not want to spend $200 on a set and not give me what I want. With 285-40-18's and a set of relaxed springs it is about 29.5" to the top of the wheel arch......yeah its got to come down 4.5" to be on the tire.So its 2" of spring and a block kit after the car is together and settled down. Thanks guys...............

You'll probably have rubbing problems going that low with those tires. Let us know how it goes.
