Ride is a little stiff, but much better than any lowering springs. (I have used Progress and Tein S-Tech lowering springs) No comparison.

2" in the front, and about 1 3/4 on the rear. I also lowered the spring perch on the rear down 1/2 inch as there is less weight. The front i left the spring pre load stock.(from the factory)

your camber will be off with that drop, might want to get camber strut bolts! Don't want to replace your tires soon...

I'm thinking about getting the same coilovers, what height drop would you recommend so that you don't wear out your tires?

just get the camber bolts off of ebay from Rennen Motors for a couple of bucks. Will help your tires in the long run and not have to worry about the drop messin up your camber.

No need for strut bolts w/ this setup, The top strut bolt hole is cut as an oval, alowing you to tilt the camber in to get rid of positive camber. I have already had the car aligned, and there is no positive camber on the front. Rides great, no pulling, no wear. If you spray the tire foam on your tires, and drive around, you can see where the tire meets the road, and there is no wear on the sidewall whatsoever. Nothing is needed w/ this kit except for the kit itself, tools, and an alignment afterwards.
