2.5 inch all round and you should be good.
got my springs from ALLSPRINGS in moorebank. they're quite good!!
but if you want your car to look DAMN HOT(

) then youll want to make a sacrifice and go that little bit lower

Depending on how much you want to drop it, offset of your wheels and tyres will also start to come into play.

hey i wanna lower my car too this week, but i got 17x7.5 wheels and i know i gotta roll the guards but im concerned about the front wheels locking when in a full turn. anyone have 7.5 width tyres on a lowered EG? how low do guys think i should go?
and also im gonna get it done at bigOtyres for 350 and another 80 for rolling the guards, and thats for kingsprings. what u guys think?

$80 is ok for rolling guards, but make sure they do it with a roller and not a hammer (you can do it with a hammer at home for free). i know someone who got it done there and they used a hammer

i had super lows on 17"s on my EK, scrapped with some passengers but generally fine

my ek has 17's and lowered whitelines. now that the side skirts are on it is only legal with me driving. so it depends if your going to put a kit on or not. kit= lows no kit= super lows.
