EliteAccord, you are making me shaky on buying these shocks now. I think I will e-mail KYB and see if their technicians can help me out here. Yes, incredible price, but I think if you really wanna save in the long run, (on installation fees, time, trouble...) you should go with something that assures your lowered ride. I mean, I want to do it right all at once because suspension is important, and it's a painful hell to have any problems. I don't have a shop and the knowledge to install them correctly. So when I am gonna spend $250 to have a speedshop hook up these shocks/springs, I am making sure I am getting a good, lowered ride. I don't know if 1"-1.5" is fine on these shocks, but I will e-mail KYB and let you know.
