no more than 1 inch for daily. and even then the ride is very firm with better-than-oem shocks. some people have asked me how i can drive a car like this lol, or if theres something wrong. yeah you can feel every crack in the road, but my cd player never skips and i dont mind the constant bumps and potholes. but if youre doing it just for better handling, tires will make much bigger difference. with all my suspension mods now, and cheap crappy tires, my car handles worse than stock where before with good tires it handled like bmw.

PM me if you know companies that are hiring.
are you saying that because i should have just saved and bought full coilovers?
No. I am saying this because you are throwing springs on a car without aftermarket shocks. Additionally, you are lowering way too much. You can improve the handling of the car with good aftermarket shocks without having to lower. The TS didn't say why he/she was lowering and thus most of the suggestions are just what you all have experienced and not what meets the needs of the TS.
Not to mention tires, driver, and alignment are the top 3 things that should be changed to improve handling.

well, to be honest, the #1 reason for the drop is appearance. I have another car i am building for performance. but i would like this to improve the handling, and do plan on adding tokiko struts this summer as long as possible some upgraded swaybars. on the not of aligment, do you have any good DD alignment specs for some improved handling?

Dampers would improve handling more than lowering. If you are getting blues, you shouldn't drop more than 1.25". And if you are just dropping for appearances, then get a set of megan or function and form coils. Not great parts, but they do the job.
Alignment - as much negative camber up front as you can get with 0 toe.
negative .7ish rear camber and 0 toe

i have purchased the H&R sports already, which rate at a 1.3 drop. i dont mind a stiff ride, so im not to worried about that, i just dont wanna have to be constantly working on it
