i couldn't agree more

Well Pirate252,

A friend of mine has it at a 2" drop and it looks decent but there is still the unsightly fender gap.

Its amazing how much of a difference 0.5 inches can make in terms of look.

Try to find some good quality 2.5" drop springs like Tenzo or Goldline and do the steps I outlined above and you will have one of the tightest looking rides around.

Tenzo is not quality. honestly if you want to be lower than 2 inches your best bet is coilovers. that way you can play with it and raise it if you need to.

Any drop over 2" is just asking for trouble on the streets given that you use it daily. For those who live in the snowy states, your car's front end will become a plow during the winter. I have found that a 6" clearance in the front it the absolute minimum you need to clear snow and not scrape anything. That is not to mention the major camber problem that you run into when you drop over 2". If you want show and practicality, then get complete coilover systems. Make it low on a nice sunny day, raise it for bad weather. Remember this, the lower you go, the worse the ride quality and more "scrapability"! Oh yeah, and your CV joints will also go out faster with an extreme drop.
