Default Anyone lowered about 2.5 F 2.25 R??

Anyone lowered about 2.5 in the front and 2.25 in the rear? I am looking at gettin koni yellows with some h&r race. I want springs that are gona give me a comfortable ride yet give me a nice sporty look and feel. Think this is a good choice??

If comfort is your concern, I would suggest KYB AGX's with H&R Sport's.

And is there no way to get about 2 inches or a little more lower and still have ride comfort? If its a little stiff thats fine i just dont wana hit a bump and have my frame slamming around and stuff.

It's all a matter of opinion. I have Koni Struts and love them.

I don't think you can go that low on the Konis or any other off the shelf (OTS) shock you will bottom out on the shock like I did. Which of course is not good for the shock or for comfort.

Hows the drop on those skunk springs? Is it a quality good ride? Plenty of spring travel and no bottom out??? Whats spring rate matches with koni yellows??

I have a 2.3" drop in the front and a 2" drop in the rear on Suspension Techniques springs, and i love them. Im about to throw on some Koni Yellows also, to add more comfort to the ride, since i am still on stock shocks.
