I currently have : Hotchkis STB, Hotchkis SFC's, Spohn LCA's, Spohn Adjustable Panhard, and a spohn TQ Arm on the way. The car also has the stock 1LE front sway bar. I think Springs/shocks are next. I don't want a drastic drop, just like .75 - 1.5 " max. The fenderwell gap is as follows :
Driver Front : 2.25" gap
Driver Rear : 3" gap
Pass. Front: 2.125 gap
Pass Rear: 3" gap

Is there any springs that would get that around 1.5 fronts and 2 rear? What would be the best shock to go with that Spring? Ride qaulity isn't an issue, handling is. Thanks for your help.

 

Actually, 1.5" is a pretty drastic drop. It doesn't seem like it at first (I know), but when you do it, then it does.

I would plan on no more than 1" if you don't want to change the car too much, as far as worrying about potholes (possible wheel hazard too) and speed bumps.

My springs claim a 1.7" drop and I have creased exaust stuff under the car, and even rubbed on subframes on a HUGE speedbump on a road trip. I also lost the exaust wrap I so carefully used throughout the exaust, I dont know if it lasted more than a day. You will also start to limit suspension travel pretty severly.

 

i ran the Eibach Pro Kit (1.25" drop) for 6 months before installing BMR bolt-in RLCA relocation brackets and panhard rod bar. i must say the improvement in traction is very noticeable.

i didn't think lowering the car so little would affect the rear suspension points, but it did. i was getting all kinds of rear wheel spin until doing it. now it's much better.

 

Have a look at my pics on the following thread:

I used Eibach Prokit and know have a 25 inch measure from grounf to arch of fender all round. Its just right - I am very happy.

I also used Bilstein shocks revalved Strano style - excelletn damping - again very happy.
