Okay.Going to find some tein 1.5 springs within Canada and order them up.

I will get the springs installed ASAP so once summer arrives I just have to put on the wheels then get an alignment.

Thanks for you're and everyone elses help.

1.9???? I thought it was supposed to be 1.5.

Why cant I get a proper answear.

I have spent days reading over many forums.Some say 1.5 not enough,others say 2'' too much.

I have a feeling I will be getting the improper spring height and wont be able to return after installation.

Can you post pic of your car with wheel and tire specs?

Also exact springs that you bought/have.

Fwiw 1.5" drop is more than noticeable. It made a huge difference in the appearance of my yaris.

Imo lower than that gives you the "wheels tucked in" look which I didn't want as it's not my thing and I wanted function over form. Also the car sits lower with a driver in it than what you'll see when you're standing beside it so take that into account.

The springs will also settle after a few months of driving and will sit slightly lower

[Exiwolfman]

One more lol

Don't overthink the half inch. 1.5 or 2 inch. Just do it.

I'll look for pics but I just put my winters on.

My summer rims are 15x6.5 and +35 offset running 185/60 r15

I have 10mm spacers in the rear. The fit is very flush with no rubbing even when hitting the bump stops on rough Hamilton roads.

Its the exact looks and function I wanted and couldn't be happier.

Been on a 2" drop since 2014 and on 16x7" 40 offset wheels. Tires 205/45R16.....

I could still lower .5" to 1" more.

Your 1.5" drop is very conservative. Go................Just Do It!!!
