As long as you never intend to install long tubes you'll be okay. I know a few guys who have lowered, and then raised their cars back up again simply because they were tired of their headers scraping on everything.

U.M.

From what I've read anything over about 1.25 to 1.5 inches and you'll hurt handling more than you help it. Other than that, what he said.

I have the Eibach ProKit and a Maggie catted X and it will scrape. Nice raked look but I have to adjust my driving habits around town. Dropped 1.5" in front and MAYBE .5" in back.

I have Maximum Motorsports coil overs on all four corners. I like them cause you can adjust the ride height to where you like it. They also come with HUGE bilstein shocks. They are a little noisy tho. I had it too low at the begining and I scraped, dragged everywhere I drove. I actually got stuck going into a parking garage....it was like a see-saw! LOL! Anywho, I think my car is dropped about as far as you can take it without those issues. I can't give you numbers right now cause my car is at my shop with the blower off getting ported. But I can measure ride heights on Monday and get back to ya if ya want. I don't think there would be any issues with a non coil over setup except for what U.M. stated. DONT forget the caster/camber plates!

I like the look of yours with the kenny brown springs. Where's the best place to get a set of those? not really looking to improve on anything other than looks. Just want to fill up the fender wells a little better. Thanks for the advice and the pics.
