Default Suspension installation

What's going on guys? So I went to this shop today and this guy told me he'd install my stuff next week . I'm pretty sure I'm going to have him drop it 1.75" in the front and 1.50" in the back, do you guys feel that this is a good choice? I was originally going to go a bit lower however the roads around here can be rough and can be taxing on the suspension. Another thing I was wondering is if all the adjustable sleeves that came with the Ground Control's universal with all the springs? Lastly, are there any special instructions that I should give this mechanic that will make his life easier and save me money in the long run, is there anything specific to my application (01' Accord LX) that needs to tended to? Thanks guys

Maybe nobody's answering because they are unsure what you are trying to accomplish and what equipment you are installing. I guess you are going to use GC but not understanding your questions about them.

just wanted to make sure that the sleeves for the GC's which are being installed with the KONI's are universial, additionally i wanted to know if there's any special instructions i can give my mechanic to make his life easier. lastly, id like to know if there's any rule of thumb in terms of the height of the car when the thread is adjusted? like if i were to move the ring around my sleeve 360 degrees how much would it increase/decrease my height? thanks

different brand sleeves... different quility of material. make sure that ur GC's coilovers are made for koni shocks.

trial and error my friend cant say how much of a drop. just advise the mechanic how low u want it. i set my by wheel gap.

I got the GC's specifically with the KONI's, my question was are all the GC compatible sleeves all unversial with the set of 4 or what? Is there a rule of thumb, other than measuring the distance between the wheel and the wheel well, to find out the distance change when you turn the metal clip up/down? thanks
