Default How Low Should I...

Whats up Fellas and Ladies,
Ok, I have gotten the Halos installed, CAI, and exhaust done, and ordered new custom seatcovers. I have my coilover kit and I am going 2 install Sat if the weathers nice. (trying 2 get as much done as I can while on leave) so right now I live in TN so the roads are very smooth just high drive ways, going to TX in few Mos then off to DC in DEC. So my question is how low should I lower the BatMobile to get rid of some of that wheel gap. I am sitting on 18" with low profile tires. Not sure of what 2 do now kit says it will lower up to 3" I think. Please I need a reply before Sat.
Thanks

on a 3G. I would just go with 1.5 and 1.5. they seem to bottom out pretty easy. The corners of the front bumper where the fender well plastics attach at the bottom of the bumper is pretty low as it is and that will bottom out every where at 2in drop I bet. I had a 1.5 done on my first 3g and it was pretty solid and didnt damage anything except getting on a flat bed the squashed the muffler

Default 1.5??

Thanks E? so U dropped the red one 1.5? Also is that the front and back? To Lazy am going 2 wait until next weekend. I have a another issue as well I got that damn "Gas Cap" code as well. I got a new gas cap and the light keeps coming on, I go to the dealership and the guy says its just emissions and it is not worth trying to fix but the light is annoying so I have to get it rechecked at least once every 2weeks is there anything I can do about this?

make sure your gas cap is tight tight. My red one was dropped 1.5 front and rear although the front could have used alittle more. Is say 1.5 front is good if you do like 1.2 rear. It will give the car a tilt slightly. I know mine was 1.5f 1.5r and the front always seemed a slight bit higher for some reason
