Icon2 Eg drop(how low) need opinions

I just order some Progress Series II coilovers. My question is, how low should I go to be flush for daily driving? My Koing specs are 15 in with 40 offset with 195/50/50. I'm not into stance by any means , this is my 75 miles a day car and just want to take away the gap in my fenders but still be comfortable

Then follow the directions that came with the coilovers or check on the Progress website for the optimal range of drop. it's not that hard.

I wouldn't recommend more than 2". When people drop their cars too low, it makes the car handle poorly, poor ride quality, and can damage the transmission. But ultimately the choice is yours.

I was debating on either 1.5 or 2 inch. 2 looks good but I don't want it to be a ruff ride.

Since its your commuter, it might be better to be more conservative.
