Default For those with 18's + lowerering springs

I' m currently putting the Daizen lower control arm bushings on along with some drilled/slotted rotors and was thinking about getting the tokiko(sp?) gp shocks and the eibach lowering springs. Does anyone have a picture of their SC lowered with 18's? Also, what kit did you use, how much of a drop did it do, how's the ride, and what tire size do you have?

Thanks,
Mike

the Daizan bushings are excellent i heard......good stuff.....well here's an old pic of my car back when i had my 18s:



well, depending on your budget, id advise you to save for coilovers, my car is dropped on coilovers and im not sure how low it is, in the picture, the front is slammed all the way, and the back is about 4 turns from being slammed, so im guessing about 2-2.25' drop in the front and 1.85' in the back or more, im not sure.....my C2s back then were +45 all around and the wheels were wrapped in 235-40-18 all around.....hope this helps you out

Back when I had 18's with skinny tires. 255/35 and 225/35.

I have JIC FLT-A2's. as for the drop... im not sure exactly how many inches, but i was tucked in the rear and had no gap in the front.

Here's my car... Kei-Office coilovers, with 18x8" and 9" wheels, running on 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rears...




That's dropped about 45~50mm from stock height.
