2inch will be fine, im running hfp and it's only an 1 1/4 or so and it give me 2 finger gap with the front with the 15's. I'd go with a set of h&r or tein springs. GC coilover if you have the money with a set of koni yellows.

I dunno, it looks like there is still a gap, but you can't really tell in pictures from that far away. It still looks good though.

I'm running 2" drop with H&R springs, a camber kit, and 17's. Whenever I am able to get a full coilover system and a new exhaust I will be a little lower. Currently I have about a finger in the wheel wells. Good luck on the drop.

I have had no problems with my Dspec's and they have like 40k on them. Still firm enough to hate every little dip in the road.

How much of a drop do you want? How much are you wanting to spend?

doesnt really matter how much but i wouldnt imagine springs being more than 250-275 want it to be 1.8-2 i know H&R and progress make 1.8 and alot of brands make 2" not many ep's around that are dropped to look at and havent found many pics with specs on the net

Get a damper kit, then you can play around with the height until you find out what you like, then you can always change it later if need be.
