awesome thanks guys. What are the best struts for the price? I am considering just putting a new suspension on because I live near chicago and the potholes and snow make haveing a lowered car very impractical. However, I think it looks ten times better lowered.

i think tokico blues are a good buy for the price, decent shock and cheap for upto a 1.5 inch drop.

tokicos are affordable as well as kyb's, but anything pas 1.5 inches, you'll need koni yellows or bilsteins, and that'll cost.

Still i find a problem being that you have coilovers. when i ran GC coils, i found koni's barely match the spring rates and i rode at full stiff to keep them from bouncing. maybe you should consider better shocks or progressive springs.

How much drop should I have for what I want. Will 1.5 inches look good and be practical when it snows?

Ok, I got the ingalls camber kit installed. It wasnt that hard except for getting the two back bolts back in was kind of a pain. Now its alignment time right?

When I go get the alignment done they will adjust the camber too right?

yeah they will adjust everything to spec. i personally would not go lower than 1 inch. i get the occasional scrapes on my exhaust and front bumper from deep driveways and bumps, and the ride is pretty stiff over bumps (esp in winter), but overall i like the handling and its a good sacrifice of comfort for performance. ive been in other cars 2 inch and lower and feel like im car sick after a 10 min drive.
