also other things to take into account is the rim size, camber and offset.. also you can roll fenders to go even lower..

I just got some new 17x7.5 rims & my tire size is 215x40x17. I also just ordered some Neuspeed Race Springs. I am wondering if the drop is going to look good or not? Would you think i'd be right around a gap of 0 or 1? I am going to have my local shop Pann Auto, in San Diego do the work once the springs arrive. They have had some cars in the Import Tuner Magazine & they do some good work.
