1.5" should not be a problem as long as you don't put a kit on. My front was around that much 1.5-2" and i scraped alot.
Only problem I would see is the camber.

hey it's howiedoit!
are you getting these from Will? i say go for it. since you have a stock body, it'll be alright. with my teins it'll be lowered about 1.5 in front also... and since you don't have a body kit, you can still go get a normal oil change and tire change... no worries about clearance really.
it will look good on your car! also, from the spring rates, you'll get a much better ride than with the 1" drop in the eibachs. weird, but true.

hey...how does your car look with the 1 1/2 drop? does it look alot lower than stock? i recently got eibach springs and tokico shocks and am not really happy with the height, it still looks like stock height to me. but the ride is not to bad i guess.

i posted pictures up the other day. here's the link, and i'm attaching one picture. like jwar says, the car definitely looks lowered. i forgot to cut the bumpstops though, so the ride is a bit rougher. i'll find time to cut them...hopefully it'll smooth out a little. and i think the car has settled down a little bit lower.

SC4oo,
If you cut the bumpstops and the car DROPS then you are saying that the car WAS sitting on the bump stops prior to the cut. If that is the case, then cutting them in half would only afford you a 3/4" suspension travel before smacking the bumpstop again. That does not seem correct. Could you expand on this?
