How low should I go?
My newly acquired SC300 is at the stock ride height which needs to change. I'm just going with a strut and spring combo but I don't know how low I should go. I'm wondering what a 1" inch drop looks like next to a 1.5" drop.
Can anyone provide pictures of their cars and note which set of springs you have and also how aggressive the springs feel? It would be very helpful in figuring out how low I should go and with which springs.

Not in the mood at the moment but go thru this thread.

People will post their tire sizes and sometimes their suspension just google them to see what drop it is and if they dont list it check their signatures it might have their specs there.

It all depends on your wheel, tire size and camber. Along with if you have your fenders rolled, cut, or left stock. What is the kind of ride you want. Once you put that into play you can decide how low you want to go. Good luck!

Your gonna need more then a 1.5" drop. Here is mines:
I am currently dropped on Espelir ASD springs on Tokico Blues and I have a little over 2" drop. It is very smooth on nice flat pavement but once you hit the not so smooth pavements you'll feel almost every bump. Its pretty stiff for springs though, but I like it. I can get through many driveways without scraping with little angling, but i wanna go lower so I'm currently saving for some coils hahaha
