If you've got coilovers, you can lower it as much as you want... but.. if you go lower than 2 inches, you are gonna need a camber kit to prevent your tires from wearing after a couple months...

If I was you I would get rid of the 17" and get 18" or 19" and then drop it

I have about a 2" drop on my car and there is about a 2 finger gap in the wheel well. I have 17's, but I also have 45 profile tires.

one the, coilovers are goin to ride like crap, I have coilovers now and it rides like crap and Im now havin problems with them being uneven and all, but if your goin to use coilovers go al low as possable, you goin to get the same ride no matter how low you go with coilovers, and your goin to need camderkit no matter what so go ahead and go down, but get 18" IMO

if u want to have a really good ride get new struts wit those coilovers. I got aerospeed racing springs wit tokico 5 stage struts and it rides great . Its mad low tho. I only can fit 1 finger in my gap. But the lower u get the stiffer the ride is ogin to be .
