If you would check their website, it specifically shows you the drop.

thats exactly how i want to be, but im not sure what will drop me like that without getting coil overs

i have a buddy with a gs he has Tein Stecs 1.3in drop i have gold lines 2 in drop we have the same stock gs rims same tires size to, and he is way lower than i am, i dont see how that is possible when my springs are said to have more of a drop

If you look, our bumpers look higher in the front, but go lower next to the front wheels. Be careful going too low. Slammed cars look great, but if it's a daily driver, the effort involved to avoid damage to your bumpers and sides will make the car less enjoyable than it could be with a less extreme drop. Just my .02

Thanks dude. The Pro Kits are supposed to drop the car about 1.2 inches. I have had them on now for around 7 years and I would say they have sagged a tiny bit. I also agree with the above. I would be more concerned with the gap in the wheel well than how high above the ground the front bumper is. In fact, you may think my front bumper is too high, but I still have trouble ALL the time clearing stuff and it scrapes a lot.

Theres just way to much that determines ride hight. Everything from a tires sidewall profile, to condtition on the struts, and the rim size. For the most part the same spring setup on the same make of car should be damn close. Gotta keep in mind tho that some people either A)don't know exactly which kind of what brand of spring they have, so they guess and B)alot of people actually cut their lowering springs. So don't always compare your car to someone else's just because they "say" they have a certain kind of spring.

Also are you sure your buddy has just the 1.3 in drop teins? maybe he's like choice A and is wrong about what kind he has.
