I am finishing my plans on the drop. This is how it should sit.
I've been tooo busy lately to screw around with the SC - having started back on my BMW. I want to finish it before I decide to stop doing anything to it

Nice. To be honest it looks a bit high at the front with the current setup. What suspension will you be going with to drop it lower?

Since I don't drive the car much I don't really care what I use. Just some springs and some new shocks, which it needs no matter what.

I've started the car 5 times this year. Top grade is not priority. Something that won't break on me. Some reasonably well known brand.

Just stock. I had the wheel turned in a little bit towards the camera and didn't notice until after the shot was taken. Anytime the wheels turn it cranks the suspension up a little as it rotates the tires. (like coming down off a jack, it's always bound up a little). It sits a little bit (not much mind you) lower when the wheels are straight.

Stock height with 40 series tires is always going to be a bit "gappy".

That explains things. I though you had eibachs or something. And I know exactly what you mean by 'gappy'... Im on stock suspension with 18's and 40 series tires as well. I keep telling myself I'll order coilovers next week...

Wow that's a solid 1.5 inch difference. I figured it was around an inch, but not much more.
