SV recommends 10.25C and 13.25E. After measuring the ride height where I would like it to be, I just can't see how a 1/4" would be enough on the droop side.

I have their coilovers on the rear.....and with this ride height that I've mocked up, the car looks at the very least level....if not sitting a tad high in the front....which is what I want.

If I did buy their coilovers for the front, and adjusted them down to where I had a couple inches for droop, the car would sit butt-high.

Of all the coilover charts I've seen, it seems like they all recommend 2" bump past ride height and 2" droop past ride height. This makes sense to me.

I like the squatty look.....hindend lower than the front....so I would like a little more adjustment if I wanted to raise the front of the car a little. So based on my 13" ride height that I measured, it seems like I would need a 11"C and a 15" extended.
