dunno where u found 2.5 but u should be happy with that. lol it'd have to be a coilover setup or a bagged setup

Cusco Vacanza V-Wagon Coilovers can go up to 3.9 in the front and 3.3 in the rear.

you maybe able to use Springs w/ Sleeves to get that low, but you won't be happy with the quality, ride or otherwise. stick with the Coilover, Cusco, Tein, Tanabe or HKS.

you should look into the easy street bags, it will run you about as much as the cusco

To get better results on spring drops this topic is moved to the right forum and my opinion leads to the bag drop or coilovers! :D

it wont fit under the car if that's what your'e trying to figure out. if u want under car you will need a 2 gallon tank or two 2 gallon tanks. when i do mine i will have two 2 gallon tanks.

ohh your talking about the easy street kit.... well they are probably the same size, but there is no reason to pay for the tank to be chrome when all it will do is pit on the underside of your car

yeah lol. i'm not gettin the easy street/air lift kit i'm just buyin the front and rears and then running a fbi air management package. and the easy street tank has funky brackets and the ports are in weird locations. . nothin that cant be fixed or ditched.

it's sittin awfully hign in the front. i think that's just the bumper tho. but sweet and those cheapo raze wheels look nice. it's not about how much money you spend it's all about how nice they look.
