3 to 4 inches. Have you check your clearences. It sounds like you will have a whole bunch of rubbing issues. Will you be able to turn your steering wheel to full lock without the wheels hitting anything? I think you will greatly comprimise the safety of your vehicle lowering it that much. The lowest I ever went on my coilover set up on my Lancer was about two inches. Even that low I had rubbing issues and I was using 15" wheels with a little bit wider tire. (205/55-15) I hope you think about what you are going to do before you move foward with this.

There's way more to handling that just slamming the car to the ground under the pretense of lowering the center of gravity. You have to take into account proper suspension travel and geometry.

the kyb is like stock replacement, if you want performance go with neuspeed springs and koni shocks, or just go with coilovers
