what do you think is the ideal drop?
Hi everyone, I am dropping my car off at the shop tomarrow to have my tein ss installed and I cant decide on how much to lower it. I am leaning towards a 1.7 inch drop but I was wanting to know what you guys thought was ideal. Btw I have not posted much but this forum is great it has really renewed my love for my car

have them install the tein's at the recommended height in the installation instructions. drive around for about a month and then after u get used to them you'll have a good idea whether u want to adjust it up or down from there.

I could live with this. I'd even prefer, personally, 1.5" front and 1.25" rear.

ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND!
haha jk
i think the best, with a good blend of looks and practicality, would be a 1/2 - 1 finger gap.
if you live in an area which wouldn't destroy the underside or front under spoiler (or even bumper in some cases) of the car, then go for a flush look where the top of the tire sits flush w/ the fender. Or, even go with a slight tuck (i'm riding with the flush look, and i live in central jersey where the roads SUCK!)
