Why the hell not ? 2" is nothing I bet U would still be able to tuck in atleast 2 fingers between the tire and camber after 2". If u want to actively control the drop, get coilovers.

On the i4 the ksport springs will give closer to a 2.5-3" drop in the back and 1.5-2" drop in the front leaving it looking pretty uneven. And over time are said to sag badly.

I haven't seen them yet on v6 though.

I would expect to see this kind of drop from them just to let you know:

OP...yes you can go to a 1.8" drop. depending on the dimensions of thoes wheels and tires id prolly leave it at that. sprints and tenzos seem to be the only "ok" quality springs for a drop that low. but i would absolutly suggest getting tokico shocks to go with them!!!

this will help i think

I have 18's with 225/45 Kumhos and H&R sport springs.on KYB GR2 struts. 5mm rear spacers on the back.

Suppose to be a 1.3" drop front and 1.25" rear, Had them about 2 years now.

If I hit a moderate dip in the road the right way, the fronts rub occasionally....The rear, and I guess, and probably due to the spacers, rubbed too, but rolling the rear fenders fixed that!

If going to drop it, don't forget the TRD/RSB, then it handle like its on rails
