ok.. i was just curious.. it said it was a 1.75 drop for both .. the difference is probably the stiffness of the springs

Yep, looks about the same as mine did. Front tires were nearly flush with the fenders (205/50-15 tires at the time on stock wheels). Rear had mad rake, looked like ****. I moved the rear spring perches on the Koni shocks down to get rid of the rake.

But IMHO the springs were much too soft for the amount they dropped the car.

Yeah these drop pretty low and aren't that harsh at all.
