ok what you gotta do is wait approx. 8 months that you have had your car. if you wait any longer it shouldn't be lowered due to the overuseage of your suspension kit. then you go to your local mechanics shop and tell them you want your springs cut. with cut springs this allows you to get maximum suspension upgrade for your ride. good luck =)

(ignore all of the above)
(i 5th their notion)

1.5 sounds good and clean. and again, get the good stuff, don't go cheapo on suspension cause your ass and your back will pay, not to mention your car and wheels.
