2"????

I'm down an inch and have lost a lot of adjustability in the rear camber. You'll need a camber kit too unless you like riding on the inside of your tires that is. Comptech coilovers will give you 3" if you want them but even with two you'll rip your mufflers off on the first speed bump you hit, that is if you make it over at all.

Are you sure you that will happen? Our car is not that low to begin with right?

i dropped about 1.25" and my car now bumps and scraps
on all kinds of crap. LOW-S2000 (MARTY - who has abandoned our little board it seems) has the comptech coilovers and was dragging on gum wrappers at Carlisle last year.

at one inch I scrape the front lip at least twice a day and got hung up on a speed bump at the DMV *crunch*. Not a happy sound. I've dinged the mufflers twice. Once when I first lowered it on TFota's driveway and once today. The undercarriage is a lot lower than you think. It's the wheel wells that decieve the eye.

Won't an alignment fix the rear camber problem?

Also, what kind of springs should I get the keep the car from bottoming out on hard bumps? I have the Comptech springs and have lowered only an 1" or so... How can you visually see negative camber?
