Measure how much gap you have with a stock wheel/tire combo then subtract from that whatever drop the springs will give you.

those will work but you'll sacrifice all your handling and the ride would completely suck and you'll be bouncing and rubbing a lot. i think pirogt has them some like those and said they're ok.

I got those coilovers, and immediately parked the car until i got lowering springs and upgraded struts. Those things suck balls*c. Not worth it at all.

I also had those coilovers and fucking loved them. They are stiff as shlt but the car was so much fun to drive in the corners. Best $50 I spent on ebay. After a while though it was just to much of a bounce, my ex hated my car.

I now have 32 way adjustable coilovers from megan god dam are they 1000X better. The adjustability is awesome. I also was able to lower my car much more.

If you get the shitty ebay ones you will bounce like a muthfunker. They will wear out your stock struts fast and then its bounce bounce bounce. The roads in my town arnt that bad so my car was 100% drivable and enjoyable. If you have good roads you will love them, if you have bad roads you will hate them.

Cities always have the roads that fall under the "bad roads" category.

Yup when I drive my car in downtown seattle I always use my coilovers softest setting and its still "jumpy" but the roads and hills are pretty bad up here.
