I've never lowered one of my cars before. How much of a drop should I be looking for with a Subaru BRZ? Most of the spring kits I see are about a 1" to 1.4" drop, but you guys seem to go lower than that.

What would you recommend for a daily driver? I don't do anything on the track. I'm interested in lowering just for closing my wheel gap some with the stock wheels.

1"-1.5" will remove most of the wheel gap and retain fairly acceptable suspension geometry. Some people on these forums are super low, and unless they're robispec or have a similar amount of suspension correction (read: almost all suspension components modified) they're doing it for looks. It's obviously a lot more trouble the lower you go in terms of ground clearance.

Thanks! So after some research I think I like these: http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru...h00000198.html

The only thing I'm worried about now is I read that I need a camber kit otherwise my tires could be screwed after 6 months?? I have no idea what that is. Do I need it?
