Every time a new person contemplates a drop, they have to search the entire forum (although most don't) to get basic information to find out what suits their needs. If those who have a specific setup would be willing to post it here, it can be a great reference thread for those looking to choose a setup or even for those who are already dropped to experiment with wheel and tire sizes, offsets, how low they can go without rubbing, etc. Please post your info if you are dropped whether it's on springs or coilovers. Comments?

• Coupe or Sedan
• What suspension are you dropped on?
• What's your ride height (the measurement from the ground to the highest point of your fender opening in the center)?
• What are your wheel and tire sizes/offsets?
• Do you rub?
• Is your drop even side to side?

No rub anymore after I trimmed bumper bracket and the wheel lining. The first time I got rid of enough of the bumper bracket, but not enough of the lining. So trimmed some more. Perfect now.

For the losers who measure distance in "fingers":

Please put an actual measurement of your ride height from the ground to the top of the fender opening in inches. "1 finger" or "2 fingers" is a measurement of how far you get on a date with your slutty girlfriend, not a scientifically accepted measurement of distance. Get a tape measure or yard stick please! Thank you.

Amended my setup info int he first post.
