How Low With These Size Tires

[Adosko]

Hey guys,

I'm new on the forum. I have a 98 Integra 4 door (had for 8 years), finally looking to do some shocks and struts on it. My tire size is 195/60/14. My question is, with this tire size, how low can I drop it without having rubbing issues? I have the opportunity to buy springs at a cheap price that will lower it 2.5 in the front and a little over 2 in the rear.

Will this be too low for the tire size, and will I have tire wear issues with dropping this low? I also could buy a set that drops about 1.5 inches...

Thanks for the help!

195/60/15s here. Tucked the front tire a little. problem for me wasn't rubbing, it was my UCA bottoming out on bumps.

R13, how much of a drop do you have?

I have coilover sleeves so I don't know exactly but probably a 3" - 3.5" drop from stock height, you'll be fine with a 2.5".

Are you buying shocks too or using the oem? Cause if you keep the oem, then you'll probably rub when they blow up lol

Nah I'm buying struts too. I decided I didn't want too big of a drop since I am getting a lip on the front as well, and its gonna be my DD. So I went with tanabe Gf210's. Bout a 1.5 inch drop.

I dunno if its because the 4 doors weigh more or what, but my car right now only has about a 3-3.5 finger gap...I wanna close it to a 1-2 finger gap.

Those are the springs I have on my car along with Koni STR.T struts.

Front wheel gap

Got the tanabe gf210s installed. I think the drop is perfect. Not too much. Just closed the wheel gap and made it more aggressive.

Next up...type r lip, mud guards, polished headlights, yellow inner headlight tint, license plate removal, plastidipped bronze rims, and a rear visor...

Then next month... GSR swap!!!
