agree!!

i think the blitz springs alone were about an 1inch drop up front and a little less out back.

it would be nice to drive around in different cars with different lowering springs/struts. . .blitz, trd, montegi. . .to compare the ride and height, etc. . .

i posted some tape measurements pics with the blitz springs installed in a different thread. this should be close to what you'll get with springs alone. search under "blitz" as title of thread. . .

get some camber kits for the front in case you need them to correct camber alignment at the alignment shop. ebay item. . . around 15 dollars a set shipped.

good luck!
