Alright so going from Ka to Sr in addition with dropping all my AC crap along with my Power steering has caused my ride height to jump up ALOT lol.
for example:
the front

I know the rear isnt quite as affected so Im sure i can lower it no problem.
My concern is that with new struts and drop springs, the drop isnt going to be enough to make up for all of the weight reduction off the front wheels. I plan to go with a Koni/Eibach setup but that's only if it would work. You guys think with a descent drop on the springs riding on the lowest perch of the koni's, itll work out alright? Wheels are next, and they'll be 17's, so that should help some too.

Have you driven the car yet? I've found that it tends to settle the suspension from heights like this, particularly when the front suspension has been unloaded from some time from a lack of engine.

well i had to jack it up a couple times last week to get under it and i havent driven it yet so the height in the pics may be a lil exaggerated. Either way, Im still worried that normal drop heights are for where the chasis would sit if the KA was still under the hood.
