lowering my car
I want to drop my car about an inch and a half but I have worries that I will bottom it out too much. I have also heard that depending on the setup you have of shocks and springs it will increase the chances of bottoming out. what is the best springs and shocks to get for a good ride but not have a problem with slamming into every hill I take at any speed

Well first of all...do you want coilovers or springs? If you want springs and like a 1.8" drop then go with the Eibachs, if you want a little more like 2-2 1/4" then go with the skunk 2 springs.I believe Neuspeed makes a drop that is like 1.5". As for Coilovers, there are many different opinions....there are Ground Controls, Skunk 2, etc, it's just basically what you want. Oh and with a 1.5" drop, you wont bottom out trust me. I am dropped 3.5" and i make it quite good over stuff.

Well, I have the Yellows on the lowest perch, giving me even more of a drop. My front end is 10mm lower than the rear, so take the pic in your sig, and the rear fender is just above the rear tire (Maybe one finger gap) and the front fender is just tucking over the tire (can only fit finger in if at 75 degree angle or so). And that is with the stock 15's....
I'll see if I can't get some pics this weekend....

Well, the Eibach pro-kit lowers 1.3" and Sportlines lower 1.7"
Also, you can set the Koni perches so that no additional lowering is done. Just use the top perch for the front, and middle for the rear. I just wanted the extra lowering. BTW, the Konis lowest pearch lowered me an additional 25mm (0.98 inches) in front and 15mm (0.59 inches) for the rear. So if you left them at the normal height, your fenders would not be as close to the tires as mine are...
