Default Lowering help! please..

So I have been wanting to lower my car approx. 1.5-1.75 inches all the way around. I want to do it right and get new shocks/struts, along with the lowering springs, and cc plates. I was looking into going with the H&R springs, with bilsteins, and mm cc plates but just started looking into coilovers. Anyone know anything about a good coilover setup? I was looking into Tein..they are expensive but might be worth it over the springs. Any help would be great! thanks.

I would contact MM and look into coil-overs.

There is NO disadvantage to them except for cost. Even then, it is not that much more and mucho upside.

haven't heard much on Coil overs but Im leaning with H & R SS w/ MM C & C set up. Ive done some research and that set up seems really appealing.

I got my coilover setup from Maximum Motorsports, Bilstein Shocks, their road race springs,

They are by far the best thing I could recommend. They are a bit pricey, but they will completely transform your car into a world class handling car. I've got a bit more than that suspension wise, but I'm confident it would be a world of difference for you.

Some of the cooler benefits is the adjustability, both ride height, and practically everything else, you can control alot of the dampening, so really, it's a great choice.
