There are no quick answers, how much you can lower it depends on the offset of your wheels and tire size....not to mention ground clearance issues. With the correct offset/tire size 2" will close the gap above your tires, that's all most of us are concerned about. Tein S-Techs will lower your G 2" and then you'll need rear tow adjusters and front upper camber arms so you won't be buying tires every year....then there's shocks because lowering your G that much will make your OE shocks useless for a comfortamble ride.

the tires that i am getting are 245/40/19 for the front and 275/45/19 for the rear, the offset is 17 for the front and 22 for the rear, will 2" get rid of the gap while giving me ground clearance or would i be safer to get 1.5"

thank you very much
