Springs or Coilovers???

I've been working on my 2001 Coupe for a year now and finally have gotten some Enkei 17' CDR 9's but now suspension is a prop. I hate the well gap and I can't figure out which would be best to drop my car roughly 2 inches. I can't afford anything more than springs or coilovers at the moment. I was wondering which would be a better buy (Eibach or Neuspeed springs) or (Eibach or Skunk2 coilovers). I don't want the camber to get too screwed so I'm leaning towards coilvers so I can set to maybe 1.5' until I get some shocks and a camber kit. I was also wondering if the ride quality between springs or coilovers would be significant. I know that some companies sell a camber kit, springs and non-adjustable shocks for like $600 which would still be in my price range. Any opinions and feedback would be greatly appreciated..thanx

I say go for the Eibach 1.5 springs for the sake of ur tires. Later when tokicos come out for our cars it'll be all good. Neuspeed ride and Eibach springs rides pretty good but if u get Skunk2's ur head will be movin like a bobblehead . I just recently bought a rear camber kit for my car cuz my tires r like tucked in for $85 (rear) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Yo PicCo,

Where did you get a rear kit for $85 ? Were they new? Dude, hook me up with that place.

Thanks
