from factory to being 1/2" lower doesn't make a big difference, but from being 2" lowered to 2 1/2" is a fairly noticeable difference.

I was talking to my friend about getting new struts because one of mine is blown. I told him I was a bit hesitant to get Koni Yellows because I don't really want to fork over the money for them right now. He said I should get them because I'd be able to lower my car a little more with them. However, I just found out that the height adjustment on them is +.5 to -.5, so it wouldn't necessarily make enough difference to justify buying them just for the height adjustment feature...But he keeps saying that it'd make a huge difference.
ok, so your dropped now and your asking if a 1/2 inch will make a difference? How much are you lowered right now?

But if you're referring to a 1/2" drop from stock, then no...
i concurr. 1/2" from stock is nothing. if i dropped my car another 1/2", it would be huge.

I'm riding on Sportlines right now...so I'd say my car is dropped about 1.75". So with Konis, I'd be riding at about 2.25".
