i got H&R supersports on the front, which lowered it 2". the rear is still stock height. im not sure if i wanna keep it the same way or not. but i got 17x9s with 255/40/17s on the front, and 17x10.5s with 275/40/17s on the rear

i lowered my91 lx 2" with 17s on it i dont rub it looks really good. the only thing that might rub is your pipes on the ground. beware of speed bumps and brick roads.

personally i think dropping it 2 inches is to much i dropped my old one 1 1/2 and it bottomed out here and there
