Just over 2 inches on mine. I'd recommend Tokico struts to go with them. Much less bouncy and more compliant in bumpy corners.

I love my S-Techs. I got just over 2" all around. And I just kept the stock shocks... they're ok for now.

S-techs are generally 2" dropH-techs are about 1.25" dropthat's the standard on any make/model vehicle for their H/S springs.

I had no idea they would transform the handling that much! Way better than the stock struts with the S-Techs. As an added bonus, the ride is much better also.

Judging by yesterdays weather I think I would be stupid not to. The kit will be purely a summer thing.

Another question:If I do just get the Tein S-Techs, is there anything else I need to buy with it? My buddy was saying something else so that my tires are straight?

Just get an alignment after the springs have a little time to settle. That's all I had to do (well my springs were used, so I didn't need to wait).Some people say that a camber kit is necessary, but I, and many others, have found it unnecessary
