thats exactly what i figured. i went with the reg bc kit with 12/10 spring rate. cant wait for them to come in. i was reading online that the extreme drop kit sits about 2 inches lower at its highest point then the regular kit and i then checked what the gs would look like on 20s with at stock height an i probably only have about 2 inches between fender and tire so even at its highest point the extreme drop would sit pretty damn close to the tire. if i ever want to go lower when i get smaller wheels i can always just sell these and get the extreme drop kit. i think i will be happy with this setup though. thanks everyone for all the info. i appreciate it.

So hows the 12/10 working out for you Chubz?

I'm debating whether to go 10/8 or 12/10 on regular BCs. I'm on staggered 18's and want about 1 finger gap when lowered.

The height can be adjusted regardless of your spring rate to get the height you desire. 12/10 is a comfortable spring rate.
