1.8" drop
when you are in the car it seems closer to 2" though, if you look in shop window reflections while you drive by.
Might also have to do with my 17" rims' tires being a tad bigger than stock

I was thinking 1.5 front 1.8 in the back. I wanted a small drop, but enough so you can notice it, and to cover the gaps in my tires.

springs drop more in the front
i can't think of a setup that would drop the back more than the front
the difference in drop between front and back is unnoticeable though really

the H&R Sport Springs are advertised as 1.8 front, 1.6 rear, which is a pretty mild drop, so i'd recommend those. you can find them shipped on ebay for like $190 for a set of 4

Nah trust is right i was double checking and the fronts are usually 1.75 front, and 1.5 for rear on H&R springs. I knew he was right after remembering looking up ad on craigs list a day or 2 back.

the back only looks like its more lowered, but u cant really drop the back more than the front...right now the front on my car is dropped more than the rear but if there r people sitting in the back u won't notice much the difference and the drop looks more or less equal

steinbach, i think its a bit late to drop your car, since you'll have to jack it back up in abit less than a month im guessin, winter's here man...i just put some tein adjustable coil overs tho n i havent really had much problems with the drop, didnt change the shocks or camber kits or anything, just the rear shocks tho coz my stock shocks were in terrible shape

Haha you don't live where I live. We get winter here, but it might be around January or Febuary, and will get about 2-3 inches for a week. Mostly our winter is rain.
