I think the ride is going to be so harsh and the car is going to sit so low that you are going to hate it. You will barely have any suspension travel and almost anykind of incline like a speed-bump, driveway, etc., is goign to become a nitemare. I think you'll find that you won't be able to get over some speedbumps or inclines - period. Even when going over at an angle.

Anyhow, it's going to ride pretty darn harsh and you will most definately have to change your driving habits. Some people like it and it will look good so whateva floats ya boat.

I think you'd be better off with the sports if ride comfort is of any concern. It will get rid of the wheel gap and you will be able to tell the car is lowered.

Well, it's going to beat the hay out of the car. Sheessh....that is going to be low man! I couldn't imagine another 1/2" lower in the front and rear (I have the sports). I can barely get my index finger in there at all four corners.

Imo, the lack of suspension travel is going to hurt handling on the street. You won't have much...

Anyhow, post some pics as I am sure it will look sweet!

Neuspeed race springs arent all that bad. I have them on my car now and they aren't all that low. I live in LA and streets aren't the greatest, but I manage to get around with hardly any problems and I rarely scrape.

eh, different people have different opinions.. i myself think 1.75" is hardly even a drop. and i would think saying that you wont even be able to get over a speedbump with a 2.25" drop is kinda absurd.
if you want springs stiff as neuspeed race with sports height.. you could add "spacers" or get some true coilovers that allow you to adjust the spring load/stiffness such as JICs. keep in mind it wont handle the same tho cause it might be just as stiff but your still not lowering the center of gravity.
