Rep Power: 0 no dude, go with the 2 in drop. trust me. i have tanabe's and they look f*ckin great. go with the 2 in drop: sprint, progress... etc. if u get eibach, the drop might not be that noticeable.

Rep Power: 0 sorry man, i don't have a pic b/c i don't have a digi cam. they ride alright. you'll never ride perfect like stock unless you get konis or aftermarket shocks. i have had them for 5 month and my shocks are still good but that's b/c i don't drive like an idiot.

Rep Power: 0 By the way is that a 2inch drop for front and back?
Whats a good combo lowerring for front and back.
can any springs be used for our cars or are there specific types and brands?
Sorry for the nooby questions.

Rep Power: 392 dont get eibach sportlines, you'll barely notice that its dropped. go with neuspeed race(2.25f,2.0b). i have neuspeed sports(1.7f,1.5b a lil lower then sportlines) and they are a lil to high... that extra .5 inch drop with the race helps kill the fender gap...

Rep Power: 0 I have Progress springs on mine, they end up settling to about 2" drop. Doesn't rub the fender on my car but the ride isn't that great, you would need to get struts too. I need them badly. But I like the way that it looks...

Rep Power: 0 No camber kit...it's actually not that bad. I still need to get one though. I will probably get that when I get struts just so I can do it all at once...
