Prokits and Koni Yellows installed
Had the prokit and koni yellows installed today. The car dropped about 2 inches. I am still on stock wheels, there is a 1 finger gap on the front wheel and the rear wheel is a little bit tucked under the fender. The ride quality is amazing and the handling improved 100%. However, is it supposed to be that low?

that sounds pretty low but some go lower then others. The koni's definately help the drop a little more. Isn't the handling just great, I really really really miss my pro-kit

learn to drive better, driving a lowered car takes practice and patience. Just gotta learn to slow down more and take it at the right angle. 
they may settle a tad more

I have the specialty product front camber kit and eibach rear. I am going to return the eibach and get a full control arm rear camber kit. Hopefully I will get it alligned with the kit though.

i got 2" easy with my prokits and koni yellows. i put the front on the lower perch so its dropped about 2.25-2.5" if ur not getting coilovers this is the best setup. sportlines have a nice drop, but u can get the same drop with prokits and koni yellows and have progressive spring rate which keep the ride more oem like.
this is my setup on the lower perch
fyi my front end is about 4.5" off the ground
i will probably be seiing my setup in the spring for some tein ss coilovers. depends how much the gap changes whem i get rims
