The front will go down more than the rear. I cut mine and installed these pads.

Mine is realllllllly low. 2" before the front air dam hits the ground.

lowering
i like to mod my car but i like to drive it also. when you lower your car more than it is for street driving you may not like it. there will be alot of places that you may not be able to go. resturants etc. where i live our entry points are high... i have to approach at an angle so as not to scrape... they look badass when they are lower it just isnt cost effective to replce parts when i break them because i wanted to lower my car.. just my thoughts on this

One thing I learned a looooooooong time ago, you never mess with your daily driver.

Every car seems to be at a little different height from the factory but on average if you completely lower the front on stock bolts it should come down 1/2" - 3/4". The rear will come down less. If you want a more level look you'll have to either cut your rear bushings or use aftermarket lowering bolts.
