i do not want the wheel well to show as much with my 17" tires,so I am looking for recommendations on your guys opinions on:

what is the "standard" lowering level? how far should I go?

what springs or shocks etc should i get and from where?


thanks!

I have a 95 with 17" rims and it's dropped 2" all around. It looks alot better, not as much wheel well, and 1.5"-2" is pretty much the norm.

including hardware, about $350 to $450. I recommend 1" to 1 1/2" lower if you are just swaping springs. If you want 2" or more, you need to replace more than just springs....
