    if ur wanting to go for that sorta ride height, be prepared to sacrifice ride comfort....
    And u will need stiff springs and matched dampers to not bottom out or have tires rubbing against the guards when cornering hard! or jus going over bumps lol
    2 ways, coilovers or springs and dampers, Its best to get adjustable dampers at that level of ride height, as if ur going in a car load of mates, odds are u wanna up the damper settings to compensate for the weight an not bottom out

    For a daily ride i wouldnt go any lower than 2", if you do the ride comfort gets worst (especially when its a full car) and your lip will scrape on things

    Put a fat bitch at the back and get that extra inch of lowering for free

    wow. so much negative feedback on going lower.... i know its uncomfortable... but im just not happy with its looks.
    i think i might go either 3 or 2.75 now just to feed the gap of horror!

    1.5-2" seems like a more sensible height.

    I looked at a set of those project d's, not sure if you can get them in 16x7's, did it fit alright with +38 offset?

    theres a reason kings are cheap.... pay more for quality springs an u never look back

    You'll need pretty good spring rates to ride safely in daily driver... atleast 4.5kg/mm all around or so... something with harder rates than a ek9 minimum

    It seems ur all about low, dont get springs, and get coilovers man, ur wasting money on springs, atleast with coilovers, should u ever decide to change the ride height for what ever purpose, u can do it, without swapping out the springs to higher ones
