I was thinking that an 1" drop would finish it up......Anyone else out there have 20"s w/ a drop? Does it scrape?

I have the Eibach Pro Kit which is actually a 1.3 inch drop and it does not scrape or rub. I also have 255 35 20 in the front and 275 35 20 and stock shocks. No problems whatsoever and really completes the look of the car.

You'll really need the panhard bar and probably an adjustable upper control arm as well.
