Default How low is your car?

How low is everyones car here? Mine is around 1.5" drop (there's about a 1/2" gap between the tire and the outside lip of the wheelwell up front) but I get rubbing toward the inside of the wheelwell when the steering is cranked to full lock. Also I get rubbing toward the outside of the wheelwell on the passenger side front tire if I take a turn too hard. I'm running Neuspeeds and KYB AGXs. My friend and I are trying to figure out if it's the drop or my spring rates.

The springs i got drop my car 2.5" F/R and the tire is up in the fender well by like 2" but thats cause my shocks are gone! I am guessing my car is sitting like 3.5" lower then stock. Also, I looks so good!

the car garaged in my pants is a foot long...wanna take a ride j/k
keep in mind your wheel/tire size also plays a key role. your car could be dropped 1.5-2.0 inches and you could have 16' wheels 205/50/16 tires it's gonna rub...
