superlows would be your best bet aat around 2" drop.

lows are around 1.5"

superduperlows are probably 2.5 to 3 " thats my guess.

ur shocks will die with superlows in due course and u will ride like poo. worse than stock. so be prepared to upgrade to sports shocks (able to handle lower ride heights and are valved accordingly).

also, camber kits, low profile bumpstops, all that.

as far as i know, theres only 2 types of king springs.
lows = 2 inch drop
super lows = 2.5 inch drop

add another 0.25" inch if u have worn shocks lol

lows is listed as 1.5inch, however keep in mind they are known to sag over time, hence 2inch over time depending on how you drive.
personally, i had super lows and that's what most guys are after. the standard lows you'll still be able to put approx 2 fingers in the wheel guards

hmm the only problem is, that what if my springs have alraedy sagged a bit? how can i tell?? coz if they have sagged like half an inch or something, and i get lows, that means fom my current height, i'd only go down an inch, and thats not even worth the price.

welcome to the world of irresponsible spending on cars :)

I've spent over $2K on suspension and I just finally got it right. 3 sets of springs later.

If only they had coilovers (which I suggest), then I wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble.

I agree with SiReal.. get a set of coilovers, it'll cost a little extra at the start, but you can adjust the height whenever you like, and the dampers and spring rates are matched.

i also made the same mistake.

i don't recommend this, but if you are after the cheapest option, you can reset springs to whatever height you want. just measure it up and tell suspension place.

not comparing, just putting all the options on the table

i'm one of the fussy ones with ride height :p
still haven't got mine right because i don't have a set coilovers yet
hopefully coming soon :thumbsup:
