Dropping my car... how much?

I just want know how much I should drop my car? I want to be dropped, to get rid of the gap between the tires and the wheel well. I don't want my car to be tucked... (u know, where u can't see part of the tire). I want to be able to stick like one finger above my tire.

How much should I drop my car for this? Anyone got any pics.

What springs and suspension should I use for this? I hear a lot of people getting the Eibach pro kit? Is that any good?

I'm thinking of dropping the car max 1.5 inches, is that good enough to do what I want or do I have to drop it more.

TIA, Phu.

nivenmk1 is an unknown quantity at this point
A 1.5 inch drop could be accomplished with any number of springs. Personally, I'd go with either Eibach or Neuspeed, moreso Eibach though if you're performance-minded (I've never been a big Neuspeed fan when it comes to suspention).

If you do a search or dig a couple of pages down in this forum, there is a thread with a truckload of pictures of folks lowered rides.

on my 185/65/15 wheels.. to make it so theirs only one finger gap on all 4 sides... ill say about a 1.5-1.7 drop for rear and the front may be different, but if u look in my ride gallery, my front is dropped about 2" ish.

so if u were to go with springs, try to find sumthin similar to 1.5/1.7

anywhere above the 2 will pass the finger gap.
