i wouldn't even give him that long, a 2.5 inch drop is pretty stressfull on our stock shocks, They have virtually no throw at all

Wu-Sportlines or H&R Sports, which are both a 1.75 spring w/ shocks like Konis, Tokicos or KYBs will settle no less than 2 inches down roughly w/ the "lower" spring perches. If you remember seeing my car, thats what the H&Rs and KYBs looks like.
