I'm looking to upgrade my shocks on my 99 ek hatch.
I keep hearing that preformance shocks will actually lower your car a small amount?
I current have Tein S-Tech springs which I believe give about 1.8 drop all around. I wouldnt mind being a little lower, but I want to avoid any rubbing on my rims and or tires.

Is this true? and What would be the best shocks to go with that will give me a good extra drop... wanna get to around 2"

thanks for the input

 

koni yellows can lower your car approx 3/4" more... i dunno of any other shocks that will had that adjustment unless it's an all out coilover

 

Koni only recomends using their lowering perches when combined with OEM springs. CRX Lee said that lowering a lowering spring could cause excessive bottoming out because the springs would be too soft for the additional drop...

i remember reading that but wasn't 100% sure of the source so i didn't post it...

this weekend i'm actually installing my stock shocks with a new set of yellows on the lowest perch... tired of scraping, bottoming out and not being able to drive downtown toronto..
