Icon2 Suspension Help

Hello H-T
I have a 95 Del Sol si and im looking to lower my car about 2 inches maybe a little more. I will probably go with Koni Yellows and Ground Control coilovers with two top hats for the front only. I live in Northeast Wisconsin, the roads here arent terrible but they arent great either. This car will be daily driven and maybe an auto x event once in a while.

What spring rates would be best for this setup?
And is there a need for rear top hats?
Any other suspension parts needed?

What other suspesnion parts do you have? sway bars? Have you done any other work to the car?

Personaly, I would go 450F/350R. OR, 450f/400. It really depends on you, and if you can deal with a stiff ride.

To my knowledge you can reuse top hats all around.

also those spring rates mentioned are terrible unless you want more understeer than stock.

400/600 I say.

You would daily 400f/600?

Good for autox, not for daily...

Yes, you can reuse the top hats. No, you don't need extended top hats but they a reccomend for a 2'' drop+
