Icon2 ej8 slammed...?

I have 98 ej8.
I'm about to drop it. My question is... do you think 2.5 frt. and 2.25 rear will be too low for a daily driver. Need feedback asap, need to order ****.

O and camber kits?? by buddy said mayb to not get camber kits and just use washers because with it soooo low that sometimes people get the camber kit smashing into the upper ****..

THANKS

no problem man
the drop you will get is perfect daily setup not to high not to low
and the car will feel a lot more stable and responsive

That sounds like the drop H&R race springs give that car. If you are using H&R springs you wont be disappointed.

h&r race springs and koni yellows...gives it a nice drop, mated with a good shock, the ride is decent.

yup pretty much. i could've went lower since you can adjust the koni spring perch, but i left it at the stock location. if your looking for slammed, spend your money on a good coil over setup. your not gonna get the "slammed" look on just springs alone
