inches of drop for the look i want.
the look im going for is for the fender to be flush with the top of the tire or maby a sliver lower but with the wheel inside the fender with and a camber kit not all hella flush deep dish camber king style.
every spring/coilover/sleeve says how many inches of drop it can provide... well how many do i need to get the look im going for.. also how low will ground control's go? there web sight says .5-4 but now sure how accurate that is.
right now im running 205/40-17s on a 98 civic hatch. car is on unknown lowering springs already so i cant just measure.

So you don't even HAVE the setup yet? Can't make that call for you then. If it's all adjustable then you're wasting your time posting.

Hillbillycivic, you're question is not an easy one to answer since all suspension components vary from car to car. I can tell you however that if you want that kind of a drop to fit your need you'll have no choice but to get good coilovers and then dial them in to your specification. I know its not the answer your looking for.

Shoot for 3+ inches of available drop, better to have more than you want then not enough, though im just guessing with your wheel/tire size maybe 2.5 would be about where you wanna be.

i know koni/ ground control can go pretty low. my s2 is tucking tire and i could still go another inch easily. basically any adjustable threaded setup should fit your needs as you can find tune it exactly where you want.
