I currently have 1.2. It's the perfect drop before hampering driving ability or having to mess with the dampers.

Was looking at my car yesterday next to a lowed Honda. It was surprisingly motivational.

Lowered my wifes yesterday with hotchkis sport springs $266 on amazon. I think it's 1.4 rear and 1.2 front. Looks good without the slammed look. Went with these cause i used my safety reward money from work and amazon had a small selection. Every review i read, people loved em. Not too bad install yourself either.

Dumb question but why do I see so many do 1.4 in the rear and then 1.2 in front. However then I see a lot doing 1 inch or 1.2 all the way around. What is the best??

Some people prefer an even stance, and some people prefer that old school muscle car rake. Its all in the preference.

Generally I recommend the Hotchkis springs for 1" all around drop and Pfadt for 1.25".

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions, or for other suspension recommendations. We offer just about every manufacturer on the market and have hands on experience to help you get set up with the right parts the first time!

Best regards,

Tyler
