they might drop that much on other cars or on average but do not on s-chassis. directly from the eibach site:

and yes anything that drops the car more than 1.5" is going to decrease the life of the shocks and will not be under warranty by kyb. if you want to lower your car just get some airbags, or cut the stock springs and drive around with blown shocks.

you need to save for a little longer and buy some coilovers.. oh and 2.2 with 16's..it has nothing to do with your wheel size, it depends on your rubber..a lot people are runnin like 17 or 18 with way more than a 2in drop..itll be cake

Thread closed KYB doesn't recommend more than a 1.8" drop...
BTW on a 1.8" drop just fits 18" rims X 8" width at a 25 offset it is the MAXIMUM allowed for an s13 (stock with no rolled fenders guys), hope that simplifies it for all the searching you could of done.

Yeah Yeah and for those that change your axles I don't have time to hear your horror stories.....
