ok... back on topic now lol... Aledelic, how low are your coilovers? as i want to get some, i found some lowering springs on ecs tuning that give 2.1 in front and 1.6 in the rear? thats by far the highest ive seen from anyone online... as im trying to stay budget minded, would that be enough? keep in mind im not wanting performance race car status, just get lower and look cleaner... so i guess what im asking is.. how low are u right now from stock? and how do i measure to compare where u are to where i am? i wanna know how low im gonna have to go before it gives the desired look i want

also, i plan on getting some 17's or maybe 18's ont he car too.... in order for that to look good would i have to get CO? or would these springs do the trick.. cuz im not wanting to actually get as low as u.. but i like the way your looks

that alienware laptop is pretty win but also $$$$$
I almost bottomed out the front coilovers before at around 22.5" ground to fender. the rears can go a little lower. I think stock non sport is between 26.5" and 27"? that's the measurement from the center of the fender to the ground

well measure your current ground to fender then subtract 2.1 or 1.6 from it.. if stock is 27" then a 2.1" drop would be 24.9".
