Geesh, I didn't mean to scare everybody...
40mm is more like 1.57" but I rounded up. You're looking at 1 and 9/16 inches, or just a hair past an inch and a half. About 1/2" lower than the BAT kit all around. About 1/4" lower than Eibach in front, 1/2" lower in back. About 1/4" lower than H&R in back, but not as low in front.
There's some people around here running 2.25" drops, but not without tradeoffs.
I measured my car last night, and it looks like even at 40mm, the tires will not be "tucked" although the visual gap will be very small. It is a level drop, so it may look to some as though the back is a bit droopy. I'm a little concerned that I will drag my Borla tips on some steep driveways, but I'm thinking about cutting those off, anyway.
I'm not browbeating everybody (or you, Tony), just trying to put things in perspective, which I hope is helpful. I, too, am a little concerned about the drop, and I sure wouldn't want to go any lower.
