Tokico HP Blues...maximum drop??

So thats the question....how far can i drop my sedan with those tokico's on. Reason being that im debating between Neuspeed sports and race springs. I want to get rid of this damn wheel gap (look like a 4x4 at stock height) but i also dont want to subject these long awaited blue beauties to premature wear and tear. I have searched this exhaustingly but I have seen mixed numbers ie. 1-2"....1.3-1.8"...i need some solid numbers...i called tokico but the stupid lady just transfered me both yesterday and today to some guys desk and all i got was his stupid voicemail. Anyways what do you all think....would i be stressing the tokico's with the race springs at 2" cuz if i am ill jus get the sports.

Honestly, I think the TOKICO Blues could handle a Neuspeed Race drop just fine. TOKICO recommends that you don't drop below a certain height to cover their rears

If you do an archive search for tokico hp blues over at honda-tech.com you'll get alot of different opinions about them.

I wonder what Tokico would say if you asked them whats the most you could lower your car on blues... give them a call an let us know!

i got the A OK from tokico....spoke to a rep they said 2-2.25 is too much ....even as a daily driver it puts unecessary stress on them...but 1.5/1.75" is more ideal.
