Well anything over 2 inches is going to make your handling worse. Such as bumpsteer. I would start with 1.5" drop. No matter what drop you have it is going to be rough with coilovers. Really your not telling us what you want Performance or Looks?

fair enough...I am buying the coilovers for both performance and looks. However I drive on a some rough roads everyonce and a while. My friend has coilovers in a 200sx, and I can handle the rough ride. I guess I am more concerned with lowering too much. All in all performance is the most important to me. I do like the way your drop looks...how much is yours lowered?

If you have wheels that are sticking out to the outer edge of the fender and a 2+" drop expect rubbing on the fenders under hard cornering.
Those pics are old. Those pics are with about a 2.25" drop. Ill honestly say I got to much bumpsteer. I am now dropped like 1.5" I believe. Control arms are parallel to ground and I can say the handling changed dramatically compared to my first drop.

Well for maximum performance you do not want to drop over 2". You want the control arms parallel to the ground or pointing downward for max performance. I think that is somewhere around a 1.5" drop. but for the best performance and I would say a good drop I would do 1.5".
