    Are you asking if the shocks will add to the drop? If so, they will not.

      Truth.

      And I'm running that same set up. It took me two years to decent what I wanted (well, mainly since I had no money) but I went with this and I love it. Perfect for a DD, especially here in New England where most of the roads are shit.

      No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

          Before:







          After: stock weaves and shit tires. I plan on getting some 16's or 15's with new rubber this spring to make the drop look more complete.





          I sure as hell can tell the difference by that fender gap. Can you? I hope that helps.

              For sure. Just make sure you do it all when you're doing there...control arms, control arm bushings, tower mounts. Do it once, do it right. Throwing new springs/struts in there and calling it a day on a car with stock suspension (at this point 20 years + for us) would be stupid. I researched my suspension and asked a lot of questions and I am more than glad with what I ended up with. Shop around, there is no one place that has a better deal all the day.

                wow big difference. ive seen alot of H&R sports + bilstein combos and some leave a bigger gap than what your setup is showing. yours is sexy.

                  Thanks and best of luck to you. If you have any other questions regarding other springs I may be able to answer them, but I can't help you with tire fitment and advice. :up:
