How low to lower?

How low to lower?
Was thinking of buying the INGS kit...wondered if guys with INGS / SIMILAR kit here could kindly advise me the recommended height to lower my ride. My ride will be sitting on a set of 245/40/19-front and 275/35/19-rear.

tink its better u fix up ur kit then u look for the suspension....
then from there u can see how low the suspension will be when u fix it up...
u might even need not change ur suspension......
but still have to change the shock to hardened the ride to prevent the kit from hitting the floor....

Just a tip for low-car owners... if you're going to Bugis, exit by the BreadTalk exit and you shouldn't have any issues. Do NOT exit by the InterContinental Hotel exit... that is a deadly trap for many many lowered cars...

Everyone is talking about lowering their cars.
But I guess I'm only crazy one who is Rising my Rx8.
My car stock suspension gave me a clearance (between tire and fender) of 2 fingers infront and 1 finger at the rear.
And so I was think of buying a thousand ++ dollors aftermarket suspension in order to Rise the car.
Lucky I came over a product at AutoBac Bukit Batok.
Its a Red rubber thing thats fit between in the middle of the spring.
It cost only $90 per pair
Now the spacing between my tire and fender is 3 fingers infront and 2 fingers at the rear.

I did ask around and someone told me that its because when we brake the front will dip forward and so its a need/must for the Front to be slightly higher than the rear.
And so after adding the rubber spacer between the springs, the Front and Rear both becomes higher by 0.75inch
