Alright im riding on 19's with 225/35 series tires. I have a 5 finger gap from the fender to the tire on the front and a 4 finger gap in the back. I just need a little advice on what kinda drop would be appropriate for my car. the width of the rims meet up with the fender evenly so i cant drop the car too low. I want a good decent drop.

If you don't want a huge drop I would recommend the KYB/AGX shocks with Tein S springs. I have that setup and I don't really like my car being too low either, and this combo is perfect for me -

ideally with such low profile tires, you would want really strong and durable shock absorbers....
Tein S-tech springs are good springs....
for shocks, look into Koni Yellows...they should tame that extra unsprung mass and the increased suspension "shock" rates very wellDEVOTE

Bilstein are excellent gas shocks. Probably one of the best. However, for that price I would rather get some Koni Yellows because of the adjustabilty.Originally posted by 93LXCB7Comment

i think ill stick with the bilstein shocks with the tein s-tech springs...2.1" drop in the front and 1.7" in the rear. sound good?Comment

the Bilstein HD shocks, the only "performance" type Bilstein shocks available for our cars, don't come with such a high dampening rate...they are usually recommended to go with very mild performance springs like the Tein H-tech's, if not with new OEM springs. The HD's might not be strong enough to properly handle the increased spring rate and the shortened suspension travel.
if you are going with the S-tech springs, which are very low and are much stronger than the H-tech's, I would go with the Tokico Illuminas of the Koni Yellows.
Shock absorbers are some of the most important components of your car, next to tires.
IMO.
