B&G will get you lower thats about it. The H&Rs give you a nice drop as well

B&G are the lowest, but be ready for a bouncy ride. I have them on my car and they look awesome, but now I need to roll my fenders because 235's rub in the rear

Horrible pics of the drop it gives you, but maybe this will give you a better idea.

Lol I can't believe you lowered it that much around this mess. I have to lower mine at some point I'll probably end up with Eibach Sportlines. I'm worried though since I already scrape in and out of my driveway.

Lol I hope. The front gap isn't that bad, but the rear makes me sick haha. Once spring comes around we'll have to do a photoshoot maybe at White Oak Park or something.

bspeed, I've got H&Rs waiting to be put on come spring. Did you have to put in any sort of steering rack spacer or alignment kit when you dropped yours? I've heard some people say that if you don't do one of those things when you lower the car that much that things won't handle right. Idk if there's any truth to that but I figured I'd ask someone who's been there and done it. Thanks man!

and no i did not, just never got around to the steering rack spacers by rights i should have them installed they are like $25-30 to tighten things up but i honestly have no issues with my alignments and such, i didn't even get my alignment done till just today lmao. and its been over 3-4 months with these H&R springs installed. seems good to me im no tech. had my hankooks taken off and put my slightly used stock tires back on.

Ok cool. I'll probably get an aligment right away and then wait to see what the steering is like for a while before I look and rack spacers and what not. thanks dude!
