Not 100% sure about lovells but king springs usually settle at about 40mm drop. Tyre choice will determine if you need to roll guards or not.

I decided to go with King springs lows on my last car. It dropped the height 1.5 inches. The rear of the car actually sat slightly higher so the car 'raked'. I didnt mind and wasmt sure if it was purposely designed like that (1997 honda prelude). Better than having the rear of the car sit too low, I hate that look. Lol

oh, i read they only dropped 30mm but if thats the case might aswell go with kings and save me some money


65mm on a gen 3 and it will be pretty much bump stops with standard struts.

bump stops?

Pieces of hard rubber that stop you bottoming out the shock and damaging it. Running on bump stops is for commodores and makes the ride awful

Speaking of commonwhores... Lovell's are a very popular choice in that community.
They're cheap rubbish.

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.
