i wouldnt do more than 2 inches, and honestly for a daily driver 1-1.5 is plenty, anything over 2.5 inches and you'll need a camber kit and scrape on everything

do you think that lowering 2 inches on your 17s will have no rubbing at all??? you should check that out first by looking at your car and seeing if it works
