1" would be ideal for me. do you have any trouble with that setup? i just think being too low is a hassle.

Won't you do the free lowering mod for the rear i got a full 1inch drop in the back with my stock suspension all you have to do is cut the rubber boot 1inch from the top. The boots rubber will be thin but it doesn't make any noises or anything and still drives like a stock suspension setup.

No member has ever installed aftermarket wheels without lowering the car.

My personal preference is to drop the car first, wheels later. I have the same wheels (maybe not same color) that you are getting. Here is how it will look with Hotchkis springs installed (approx. .75" drop rear, 0.5" drop front) with 19x9 w/ 245/35/19 front, 19x10 w/ 275/35/19 rear:

you need to drop.
It looks 10x better!! trust me.
I was going to lower my car less than 1 inch, however 5month after my coilover, I lowed my car two more times from initial drop..
now, I'm pretty low.. I like it.
