Quite the list there. [up].
Go about 24"/25" fender to ground. Up to you on if you want low, or reasonable.
I vote 24". [>_<]

24.5, that's just a hair lower than I am and it's just barely below my 17"s and barely lower on my 19's

As low as you can.

Not thread jacking, but I just bought coilovers last night, and am curious to see what people say about how low I should go. I'll keep a watch at this thread. I want to go as low as possible without scraping my car on every little thing. Thanks.

^ lol why are you guys asking us?... at the end of the day it's not what we like, its what you like.
Most people will say the lower the better (i know i would) but just go as low as you'd like. that's the beauty of coils.

Ok, I hear you there, but: If I bring the coils to the shop, the shop guy is going to ask me "how long do you want to go?" And I will say "duhhhh, I don't know." Is 24.5 fender to ground ridiculously low, or moderate? I have no idea. Pics?

24.5 is a nice drop on 17's. why don't you ask for 25, and if you don't like it just lower it yourself.
If you can take a tire off you can adjust your height. it's that easy.

All depends on your wheel and tire sizes.

17" OEM split spoke. Yikes, this might get messy once I get the coils in a week. Be prepared for so many N00B questions about tires/wheels/coil heights/ etc....

Mike! I said if you had any questions you could feel free to PM me haha. Thanks again for the order but to be honest I wouldn't drop it super low at the beginning, it takes a few days for coilovers to "set in" so you will see them go lower after install. That being said I would drop it, wait for it to settle in and then dial it into what you like and want.
Thanks
Chris
PS. Sorry to thread jack
Looks like a great list of mods, post pics once you get them installed!

Chris - Haha, no problemo! I'll hit you up if I have any questions about the coils. And I think I found a good shop in Maine that will hook me up once the coils arrive! Oh ya, my apologies for the thread jack also, oops!
