It just depends.. if I could drive my car around everyday lowered 2" I would. I wouldnt go lower.. really I wouldnt want to go lower than about 1 3/4".. you can use the bumpsteer kit to correct the front end geometry but any lower than that and your gonna have a tough time.

It looks great, speedbumps suck. Just make sure to get good c/c plates and bumpsteer kit, without those proper alignment will be difficult if not impossible.

Basically you NEED some new shocks/struts, a bumpsteer kit and c/c plates. your gonna **** up your tires and your shocks/struts if you dont.

You will be glad u did! I have my car lowered 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back, but I have all of the supporting mods to keep my geometry in spec. I wish it was a just a tad bit lower... With that said I think 2in will be fine as long as u have the supporting mods and watch out for those speed bumps.

You can probably get away without doing the shocks and struts at the same time as doing the springs and "supporting mods", but the common consensus is to replace them with something that better matches the new springs. I've been "getting away" with it for a while now (same 2" drop as you're gonna do, rides fine unless you put a couple of big girls in the backseat), but it is a fact that ride quality will do nothing but improve when you replace the shocks/struts to match.
