Default Another suspension question. Koni's & Espelir Springs

I've been trying to research this and i've come up with some good info but not quite the answer I'm looking for.

So I realize that the 1/2 in drop on the koni's actually translate to more of a 3/4 in drop to the body of the car. I just purchased the Espelir shocks and I guess they are supposed to give me more of a 2" drop.

So to my question... Will this be too low?? I want it low but I don't want to be scraping on regular daily roads.


Does anybody have a picture of this setup? Lower perch? Upper Perch?



If there is a thread on this and i just didn't see it can someone please direct to it? thanks!

I have koni yellows on the normal perch + eibach pro kit. It's a tad too low IMO. So...good luck with going lower than that.

I have my wheels up for sale right now so if they don't sell soon I'll probably just drop it and get maybe a 225 set up.


I put up a pic of my wheels. You can see how meaty the tires are.
