so whats the easiest way to achieve this as you would have to remove the wheels to adjust the coilovers.

That really isn't that low..... I mean we're talking about a one inch drop. These cars have excellent ground clearance stock so this doesn't compromise too much.

Now a 2" drop is a different story altogether....

Getting the car towed would be the least of your worries then....

You got it. It is trial and error until you get it just right.

Its still low enough that you should carry a couple pieces of 2x4s in your trunk in the case that you do need a tow.

So you change it until you get it just right, then you must do an alignment correct? And each time you change the height from then on, its a new alignment?

Ok, so looking at the 13.5 F & R, I guess I would like 12.5 drop for F & R and hopefully, I would still have a decent street ride if I adjust the spring rates right.

12.5 up front is really iffy for ride quality. You need quite a lot more spring to cover for the huge loss of travel. Think 700lbs, instead of 400-450.

Ok, I guess the cool thing is you can experiment until you get it right...
