What would be the lowest drop you'd recc for a ride with a Stillen Body Kit. I was thinking..Eibach Pro Kit? 1.2 I think?

Also, what shocks/struts would complement a Pro Kit?

You can go as low as.......

2" maybe lower!!!! the question is whether or not you're careful enough to avoid parking blocks, curbs, debris, etc. that you could hit!! I'm gonna go with Sus. Tech. 1.5", just gotta park backwards(no rear valence on yet!) and be a lot more careful on hills and driveways!! A LOT mor careful!

My $0.02

With my Stillen kit an Eibach Pro springs it's a perfect combo. I dont have to worry about most/average parking blocks and driveways. I've spoke to others with Intrax and the body kit and they love the look, but hate the every day driving, alot of rubbing. Keep in mind the area you live/drive. Here in N Cali Bay area, roads are bad but not too bad like NYC. Now, in S. Fla where it's so flat and you can see for miles, there will be no problem in that area.

Is that a photoshop of your max, or an actual before and after?

Photoshop

But I will have the kit soon, and it'll look a hella of a lot better I'm also slapping on some Racing Hart, or Volk Racing rims, 17 most likely, but 18s look appealing (except their rubbers are REALLY expensive).

I'm also getting my suspension redone, prolly in a few weeks..I'm thinking eibach maybe?
