Are you planning on using stock shocks? If so 1.5" drop will most likely be too low and will blow your shocks (you should switch them out anyway as they're probably due to go soon with your current drop).

The vast majority of what I was told about lowering here on S2kI turned out to be totally wrong.

Well, upon reading several posts on here: I have decided to go with Espelir ASD springs. These springs lower the car 1.3 inches, the spring rating is just a bit stiffer than stock and I have heard the stock struts could handle these for a while, but my plan is to get a set of Koni yellows on sale. Keep in mind, Koni's offers 2 heights for the spring perch and the lower perch will lowe the car some more - but 1.3" is all I am looking for. I am nervous the front end will scrape too much even with this drop and may go with the OEM AP1 lip and the lip protector/undertray...

Hope this helps!

PS - I wish Bilsteins made just some struts, but they don't...
