Steveski--do you drive daily with a 2" drop, and if so: how's the ride--are you hitting bumpstops often?

Thanks a lot Steve! The car looks great

I plan on ordering a set of Koni Yellows to go with the Prokit.
If anyone has experience with those please share.

Nice setups everyone. Keep them coming!

I drive often and the ride is pretty firm (that was my goal). It is still comfortable for my taste and nowhere near what it was like stock (of course).

I don't hit bump stops unless the car is fully loaded and it is a pretty big dip. At 1" drop the car was fine - I lowered it another inch because there was still too much fender gap for my taste. At 2" I have to watch for speed bumps - they can kill the cats down below.
