I have S-Techs with my OEM 17's. I am ordering 18's today. The ride quality is great. I would venture to say that there is more than an inch drop with them though. The front is lower than the back there is virtually no gap in the front. Maybe an inch or so in the back. I anticipate rubbing issues. I may change to Eibach pro-kit. Then maybe later I'll get coilovers. Mybe rolling the fenders will fix it.

My 2 cents.

Yeah, everyone says the same thing, but for some reason my front end is lower. I will get pics to show if it doesn't rain. I am worried that I will have rubbing issues in the front with the SSR Professor SP1's. I wish drop was even
