while I think 2 inches is way to low, its you car do what you want, I went with VOGTLAND springs and they lowered it just over 1.2 inches all the way around.

that 1.2 inch drop isn't bad. slightly to mild for me. i'd go for a 1.5 inch drop, somewhere around there.

as much as I want to lower mine, I already hit the bottom of my car coming out of the driveway (uphill out). Also w/o bigger rims doesnt it look wierd?
