yea that's cool.. i knew the 1.5's had a lower drop, butit just didn't look like that much of a difference in the pic.. and do you know if there is much cost difference in the 1 inch and 1.5 inches? I have to admit though, i bought the car with the stripes on it, i wasn't to sure if i liked them, but now i think the stripes set it off.. and how would a set up like mikey's be any different than something else? i'm sorry i'm so ignorant.. just dont know what i'm doing

I only say go with the tokiko setup cause no matter what springs you go with your going to have to get the blues for your struts cause youll need good struts for any drop no matter the drop just to be safe . Theres not much price difference in the 1 inch drop than the 1.5 drop I assume .I dont know much about 1inch drops since my 96 neon is on b&g coilovers and my acr srt4 was on stage3 coilovers and unsure on what Im going with for my sxt have to see next yr and yeah the stripes do set your ride off and look awesome on flame red.If you go with tokiko setup you will be happy with the drop ask mikey his ride looks so sweet with that drop of his.

so there's really not that much difference between the 1.5 and 1.. where did you get your lowering kit??
just a .5" lol I used the mopar stage 1 springs... Which are basically stock 1st gen R/T springs. I found out what mopar was doing and just sourced brand new first gen springs instead of buying the kit. Saved me $50...

If your more concerned with look then i'd suggest the 1.5"... I had them but swapped them for the Mopar set-up. I was living in New England at the time and the roads out there suck! I won't disagree about the 1.5" looking better, but i had personal reasons why i didn't like them.

yes, when you start to cringe even before you hit the bump you know there is a problem. It was just something i didn't like. I got friends that drive like all the time. I was riding in my buddy SRT and we hit a pot hole here in hawaii and the thud was gut wrenching.

Just be very careful with speed bumps and holes... I'm not gonna tell you not to get 'em. The choice is yours. I'm sure others with the more aggressive drop like theirs and can give you their opinion.
