Yup no doubt, I'll be lowering it soon when I get some funds and find the right springs.

Thank you VNlilMAN, appreciate it!

The reason I want to know is so I can compare spring heights to others before buying a set. I want to try and find a spring thats the same as stock height, but still lowers the car some. Thanks again for the info!

Yup I'm torn between the Eibach Sportlines and the Neuspeed Sports. I'm not against Goldlines either. I want to keep it a little higher in the rear like it is now stock.

Eibach's are nice.. pricey, not that big of drop(which is okay for me) but Ive seen some that are saggy looking. I found a set though for 150 bucks.
Neuspeed's maybe my best choice since, since it keeps the factory staggered(higher in rear) look.... I think.
Goldlines from what I understand also keep the staggered look with their new springs, but I wonder just how soft they are. I dont want to drag my rear when loaded up.

Hrmm.. decisions decisions!
