much as you want... example , my friend put groundcontrol all the way down. his rims are tucked in... with stock shocks. rides like SHI8TT, prepare for new shocks, (koni yellow)
this is why people buy sleeved coilover with aftermarket shocks,
you dont like prokit anymore?(i remember you have prokit or sportlines)

you can go as low as you want, but like what civicvtec1ps said, be prepared to get new shocks. tokicos are supposed to come out soon, but nobody knows when. they will be better than the koni yellows
actually, I currently just have stock suspension.
To be more specific, I meant how low can I go w/o blowing my stock struts. I've searched and it seems alot of ppl w/ neuspeed have blown their struts, but not so many w/ goldlines.

and where they live. even with prokit (tiny drop) stock shocks can blown easily by hitting pothole. so its not the springs issue,

i personally, if you never want to get aftermarket shocks, then I don't think you can go lower than 1.25". You may be able to get away with 1.5" but a 1" would be safe.
Yeah and what he says. I mean you can blow a shock with stock springs. It all depends on a multitude of factors.
