I would't go that big of a drop as I do haul around quite a bit with the car. I'd probably just drop max 1.5 or less if I had the springs custom made.

The lugnuts which I referred to in the link in post #2 above are shown below. They have a much larger tapered section than our stock lugnuts and the "bulge" fills the 14mm to 12mm gap. They were difficult to find since, as mentioned above, most conical bulge lugnuts are not metric.

Hey How long did it take you to get these lug nuts it is showing online that they want even ship until 9-6-14 ?
