My estimate from owning a bunch of P2s is the springs and shocks will sag/drop from between an inch and an inch and a half every 100K miles (on average, obviously some more... some less).
Mod note. Jim passed away in early 2022, his contributions to this forum are immortal, and he is missed. RIP

Weird. I'm only 1/4" lower than yours in the front but it sure looks like it's too low. The OD for a 195/65-15 is listed as 25", and the 235/45-17 is listed as 25.4", so my car is about 1/2" lower than yours would be with the same springs. New springs would probably push it up an inch or so. I'll still need to do something with the back if I want to make it look less awkward. If for now I put in a set of used S60 springs in the rear I'll probably end up with a ride height similar to a set of lowered springs. As long as I don't put any people or stuff in it that might even work.
