Very nice choice of wheels . I have the Eibach Pro-kit and I loved the way it turned out. lowered it about 1.5-1.7.

Tama: If you can do any work on your car yourself, you will save a lot of money. Here is what I did with mine.

FRPP N Springs - $200ish
Tokico D-Specs - $500ish (you can get less expensive Tokico HP's for like $360)
BMR adj. panhard - $125ish
Camber bolts - $35ish

I did the install myself on everything, and then took the car in to get an alignment when I was done. You can just install springs, but after a few months your stock shocks/struts will start to get bouncy and you won't like that.

thanks oddysey...thought lowering the car was least expensive but its worth it anyway. so if we only lower it .75 or 1 we wouldnt need all the extra stuff?? jus the springs will do cuz not a big change.

you will still need a camber bolt and maybe a PHB. Your stock dampers wont last long also if you dont replace them with any springs and then you are paying double labor/alignment, do dampers with springs always.

To all the people that have the 1.5 or greater drop, do you have problems scrapping in your driveway? I dont if its just my driveway but I couldnt even go down it straight at stock height.
