The Tanabe Precedeos are 2 inches front and rear. That is what I have.

yota, I'm not gonna get the coil overs, they r too shakey for koni's, I'm gonna get the tanabe or B+G. However, does tanabe making anything that lows around 1.7 for our car? I have h&r now, I don't know I should do! please advice

Lucky for you I had both springs and can tell you the lowdown. :)

I swapped the H&Rs for the Tanabes thinking I was going to get a significantly better drop. I was dead wrong, and worse yet, the H&Rs rode, and handled better. In front, the drop was nearly identical to what I had with the H&Rs, while the rear did drop a nice bit down because of the staggered stance (of the H&Rs).

If you're not going to go for a coilover sleeve (or full coilover for that matter), I'd stick with the H&Rs... it really doesn't get any better than that. I was kicking myself in the ass for months after I swapped them out... now that I've upgraded to the full coilover setup, I'm sittin' peachy. :D
