Default Will i be alright with bils +stock springs?

I only want a slight drop, like 1in. I dont have the cash for coilovers(college budget),and i already had h&r springs, and were sagging bad, way to low. My bils are adjustable so i should be able to set them down to get that 1in. Any suggestions?

Default If you've got the adjustables just stay with your H&R springs. I have that setup and believe me

you can go low or high. The first time I had them installed I put the perches on the highest setting and it was higher than stock. I've got it down to about 25.25" now and there is room to go way lower if you want.

Default I don't know. I have Neuspeed Bilsteins which seem to have different groove locations.

I went off of what some here said, but had totally different results. At the highest setting I was around 27" front and rear.
