Hi:
i'm currently planning to drop my car,my car is 1998 integra, it has a set of 14 alloy wheels with 195/60/14 tyres, i have already got my shocks, so my question is how many inches i should drop it to close the gap between fender and tire. thank you , i'm a bit busy now, doesn't really have time to go to workshop

2 - 2.5 inches is good but depends if you are after looks, or functionability...

thanks mate, i read instruction for my tokico shocks today, it says the warranty will be void if lower your car too far(most car can handle 1" to 1 3/4" maximum) so my question is if my shocks will handle it if i drop around 2.5", thank you

not really .. :P
simply put the original spring back then your warranty is 'back again'

3" is the best ... depends on your car .. if your car is a truck then 6" for sure :P

but if you use honda accord euro 3" is the best :)
