Yeah if it's your wife she may complain regardless when you drop it. But maybe not, if you're already on low pros, you should be feeling the bumps. I went with Megan LP coils. Have it set at the stiffest setting possible to allow for no play on bumps. I dropped it 2 in the back or little more and 3ish in the front. I actually don't know the exact inch. I just thumbs up or thumbs down the guy that did it. Installation was 225.

No, but then again I owned the car for 4 years and rubbed a lot on turns with my 20s. If you read my post a little more, you'll see that I should have done a roll or cut, because when I turn the tires in the front have no where to go, so they sort of rolled my fenders for me lol. Lucky me, I had no buckling on the outside and it didn't completely blow out my fender. Just pushed the inside flatter. I wouldn't recommend doing my drop in the front unless you cut or roll first. They are fine now, and my tires rolled my fenders for free, but that is definitely not the way to go lol. I plan on cutting them in the next few months anyways when I get my new rims. Going way more aggressive.

I have Falkens myself, read a lot of bad stuff on them lately, Need new tires soon but not sure what to get. I have 235/30/20 fr and 285/25/20 rr FK 452. Thinking if i should stretch the back and go with 275/30/20 in the rear. I hate stretching it bcuz I dont think it look as good. But just wanna make sure it doesnt rub when I drop it.

Here's some pictures of my rims when they were brand spanking new.........WOW!! Makes me miss how nice they WERE. Anyways the stretch wasn't outrageous, but you can definitely tell. They are the same exact fitment as the Falkens I have now, but you can see the difference in the stretch. In person, they were the best stretch without beginning to go to the extreme hippari style.
