I recently purchased 19" rims and am wondering how much I should lower the car. It looks so high even though I have the Rod Millen body kit. What do you guys think is a good drop? I'm really interested in getting the L-tuned springs and shocks because I want the warranty, but do you think that is enough to make the car look low enough? How about 1.2" w/ Eibachs? I really don't want the car too slammed because my front always scraps. I want it just right. What did you guys with 19"s do, especially you guys with the RMM kit?

Thanks so much

if you have the RMM kit and think it is too high, the l-tune combo may NOT be enough drop for you, especially with 19s. but, if you insist on retainingg the warranty(assuming the lex dealers would be doing the install), your only choice is L-tune combo.

IMO, Eibach+Bilsteins would be the perfect set ups for 19s. unless you have enough budget(~$1600), you can get the coilovers. that way you decide how much drop you want.

let me know if you want the Bilsteins, i can get you a set for the best prices.
