Default Lowering and Kmacs

How low can you lower (Front + Rear) before really needing Kmacs? Thanks

Default 1.1 inches for the half kit. Pretty much just Eibachs. Anything more will need a full kit or camber

arms.

Default Hey feller, do you have-->

a direct braodside jpeg of your car with the S-lines? Not an angled shot like I've seen you post, but direct side? Also, what diameter wheels would be in that shot if you can forward/post it? I've got 18's.
I have seriously been considering S-line instead of the Eibach/Bilsteins. I assume you didn't need K-macs or such....if necessary, I'm going with adjustable Forge arms.
Thanks, David (Sheep)
Emailing pic would be fine instead of posting: shihlha@earthlink.net

Default how do you like your S-line and can you elaborate on ride quality

before and after? If I'm not mistaken, you got front shocks or Coilovers and 4 springs in kit, right? badges and door sills too. Thank you for any info you might provide.

No, you need a 1/2 kit with Eibachs.

Default Love S-Line!>>>>

They 3/4 inch drop, but I swear it is more.
Yes it came with 4 springs and front shocks. I feel the ride quality is great...although I would prefer a little more rebound dampning in the rear...Dosent bother me though...I order just the badges not sills...for the price I think it is the best deal...also used forgr adj ties...tech said it was the easiest align he has done.
