The drop is whatever you want it to be. That's the point of coilovers, they're adjustable. The ride is something different though.

they are stiff, can drop quite a bit and I am pleased with the $850 I spent.

feels better than stock to me with my settings and tires.

damm fat ass rims! nice! ok next question..this is what i have right now... 225/40/18 front and rear and my rims are 7.5 wide but i wanna make them look as if they were more "out" im thinking to get 205/40/18 tires and the rims would be 8.5 to stretch the tires.. it would look good right? would i have to roll the fenders?
also i was thinking just to get spacers for 1" front and rear and get maybe 195/40/18 what you think?
they look very much like corvette rims.

very much so. But they are called wheels, not rims. The rim is just the outer lip of the wheel. Stop watching Pimp My Ride.

Hey as I said I have 7.5 wheels front and rear I'm thinking to roll my fenders and install 25mm spacers just on the rear ones.. Can. I do that without using a camber kit and how I make it looks negative camber?

I need to know what the offset of the wheel is to answer this. But my guess is 25mm will get it pretty close to being flush.

lol, never tried to be an ass. I simply stated my wheels are from a corvette and the proper term is wheel. Yet I have never been rude or acted like I know everything. What I do know is suspension, hence why I only reply to suspension questions. But if life will be too hard if I post answers I will just remove myself from 6gc. frown.gif
