You're gonna be bottoming out, if you go that low, and if the roads in your area are....lets just say not the best.

I recommend nothing more than 2inches for a 4dr.

i just checked my gc's, and I'm down about 3" in front and 2.5" out back. Paired with illuminas and riding on 205/40/16's, i don't bottom out very often. I think it looks nice, but I'm going to raise it to fit my new 195/60/14 azenis.

195/40/15 and your speedometer will be way off 195-50-15

sprint springs
u'll be more happy with a set of gc, i kno it costs more but just think about the long run, that u can adjust the height to whatever u want.

i have neuspeed race on my 2dr and it settles to 2.7-3.0 drop and it is damn low. got my car in the paint shop gettin my kit put on and painted, sits a little over 1.5" off the ground in the front, looks good but have to stay very careful. you should be good with the drop that u are planning though

Make sure you have high enough spring rates and good shock absorbers.... it will prevent some bottoming out.
