Its about 1.5. But with the sport shocks you will drop another 1/4" or so i believe....

0 wheel gap in the front and about 1 finger in the back before shocks
tucked in front and back after shocks

prokit with skunk2 shocks? my guess is that it would probably be close to the skunk2 spring only drop... thats only an estimate though.

go with the skunk2 setup.
skunk2 lowering springs
and skunk 2 shocks

i have skunk2 lowering springs on my car myself and it could use another .25-.5 inches drop to make a perfect drop. but if you want to drop the car a little and make it look closer to stock get pro kit or is it sportlines thats. not sure.
