i'd look in the member rides section at the different spring and ride height configurations, if you get rims, that could also lower or raise your car accordingly

It depends...

Do you have a body kit?
What size wheels?
Want it to be still practical?

Id reccomend checking members rides that are similar to yours... and also, searching helps to ... this topic really has been beaten to death

If you live in an area where it doesn't snow then I'd say go with Progress springs. If you live where is snows on the other hand, I'd say save your pennies for Tien full coils.

1" in the fronts, 1.75-2" in the rears. have that crease ([IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] ) along the bottom of the windows, even with the ground. Give it a nice parallel look.

I have the Eibach Prokit springs and 17" wheels, it depends really on where you live, I am in NY and w/ the bad potholes it is a conservative amount, also like others said, body kit may matter too. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

coilovers are bad for the winter because the salt and s**t lock up the perches, and spending huge cash for tein just to get them ****ed up isnt worth it. i live in pa and we got hit hard this winter, i have goldlines and it is a good drop with good clearance from the snow.
