2" drop


Are there any lowering springs that offer this? the only thing i can find will only do 1.75 in the front and 1.6 in the rear.

The only reason i am looking for the 2" drop is because a body shop guy told me that it would look best.

H&R super sports are close to 2" i believe. Take the isolators out, put those in, and you should be good.

Not much. I think people usually cut between 1 and 1.5 coils off the front, and between .5 and 1 coil off the back.

I did 1.5 in the front and 1 coil in the back and dropped my car about 1.5" in the front and about 1.25" in the back.

2" is a large drop though, you will have a rough time with anything with a grade, speed bumps, etc.

lol then you'll be like my friend Zach with his eibach sportlines with 2-3 coils cut off...

@OP..unless you're adding in aftermarket shocks & struts, C&C plates, and i'd reccomend x2 balljoints...then stick to around 1.5" or less
