whats an appropriate drop?, w/konig 17X7 Options

[Malhar95]

my cars currently sitting on konig incident wheels, from online specs i got they're 17X7 with 40 offset.

i cant decide if i should save up and get coil-overs(Megan) or just get some lowering springs. i found megans go cheap for about 150 shipped for 2" drop

im not going to be playing with the setting that much if i do get coil-overs, i would mainly just lower it once suitable for daily driving, and then maybe slam it if theres some serious car meet or i feel bored.


i still cant decide. would love some input and opinion.
im not too worried about the struts blowing because they're from advance and under lifetime warranty lol

and if i do decide on getting springs, is it complicated replacing them? never did anything of such nature.


This is my daily, i drive about 500miles weekly, mostly in downtown for school.

any advice and picture of a dropped 2" would be nice (yes i have checked this thread out already)

not true I have tanabe df210 with 2.2inch drop on the front and I've gone through kyb gr2 and bilstein and neither will blow out as long as you have the bump stop installed.

if your getting 215/45R17 tires. You'll need a 15mm spacer up front and 20mm spacer in the rear. Then your 2 inch springs will look just fine.
