The drop is 1.5"/1.75" I believe. The only difference in how it feels is when I am backing out of my driveway because the curb is about 4 inches high so I can really feel it when I come down off of it. That is also the only time I hear a noise that I never heard before. When else were you guys with these springs hearing noises? Thanks for all the compliments and I love the look. Not only that but there is noticeably less body roll when I take turns. My neuspeed strut bar should be arriving by the end of the week so hopefully it will be even nicer then. Thanks!

Edit: Has anyone with these springs gotten an alignment done and knows how bad the camber is? I was just wondering if I really needed the rear camber kit.

I haven't dropped mine yet, but I heard the same thing about the camber kit. It does get thrown off and you will wear your tire faster. That's something I'll be looking forward to in the near future.. Hopefully. But overall, looks awesome. On the downside, needs rims. Then It'll be BANGIN'!!

Yep, I have a nbp sedan with the neuspeed sports as well. I didn't have any noise for like the first week. After that, I get little pops everytime I turn and go over bumps at a slow pace. I can tell it's the springs that are making noise on the perch. Anyhow, yes, you are definately going to need the rear camber kits. You should be able to tell just by looking at the rear wheels. You don't have to get them but the insides of your tires will wear out long before the middle and outside tread does. Also, handling takes a hard hit with all that neg camber as well.
