The drop is whatever you want it to be. That's the point of coilovers, they're adjustable. The ride is something different though.

also i was thinking just to get spacers for 1" front and rear and get maybe 195/40/18 what you think?

very much so. But they are called wheels, not rims. The rim is just the outer lip of the wheel. Stop watching Pimp My Ride.

Hey as I said I have 7.5 wheels front and rear I'm thinking to roll my fenders and install 25mm spacers just on the rear ones.. Can. I do that without using a camber kit and how I make it looks negative camber?

I need to know what the offset of the wheel is to answer this. But my guess is 25mm will get it pretty close to being flush.

lol, never tried to be an ass. I simply stated my wheels are from a corvette and the proper term is wheel. Yet I have never been rude or acted like I know everything. What I do know is suspension, hence why I only reply to suspension questions. But if life will be too hard if I post answers I will just remove myself from 6gc. frown.gif
