2 inch is too much for a daily driven car in the North. My Steeda Sport Lites dropped me alot and it looks and feels great but hitting stuff scares me. I'm afraid i'm gonna do damage on one of those raised man whole covers because the front sits low.

Yeah i agree, in ohio the roads get nasty after winter.

You will likely experience some rubbing on the inner fender aprons. Nothing serious. They can be pounded flat. I think 2" is too low. Going up and down accesses to places (driveways) will be a challenge. 1 1/2", to me would be maximum.

You should go with the Ford Racing/Bullitt Suspension kit. It will lower you about 1.25 inches all around and comes with Tokico shocks/struts and thicker sway bars all for @$400. It won't drop you scary low like most springs and will still improve the ride and cornering.

Its the kit i wanted but it was on backorder so i went with the Steeda/Tokico setup for double that price...i might still swap out for those springs in the future.
