Yes they are about a 2" drop, and it really depends on the offset/tire size if you will need to roll fenders or not. It's not just about the size of the rim. If I am not mistaken, I think there are guys running 19s on the Espelir's with no fender mods.

i don't think the espilers are 2' drop but very close like 1' 3/4 or something like that, and i have 18's on my car and i have no problem at all. no fender roll, nothing.

shocks, i m using tokico blues, and for the ride quality, it's a lot more stiffer than stock, and probably sitffer than tein SS or CS, i don't remember, coz i driven one of them, and the espiler felt stiffer.

I have the same setup, it is definitely stiffer. But its the most OEM ride that you can get with this low of a drop, unless of course you go with some super coilover setup. I got my springs for $270 shipped from www.istoreparts.com
