2" is a big drop on an S197. I wouldn't recommend it. A 2" drop on 20s will ride like poo. (but it'll look cool)

Eibach Sportlines are close to a 2" drop.

The Steeda Extreme Sport Springs will give you a 1.75 drop in the front and a 2 inch drop in the rear to "level" the car. Once you start going to low you will have to change other parts to accomodate the change in height.

PM if you have any questions?

Best Regards

I would recommend our Ultralite springs. They provide a 1.25" (F) and 1.5" (R) drop, are made in the USA and feature a lifetime warranty. They have a great ride quality and offer improved handling. You can do these without needing any other parts.

Please let me know if I can get you a set of those.

I have Eibach Pro Kit springs on my car and they a great all around springs. They drop the car 1.5" and only require an adjustable panhard if you want to re-center the rear axle.

Pics of the car with the Boss wheels? I have always been a fan of those wheels. Bullitt styling, yet a little sharper IMO.

Do you have sportline springs or something else? If so did you have to do anything else besides put the springs on?
