Question Ok....I have a boy that's gonna hook my up w/some Eibach Sportlines...but from my understanding...the sportlines are around 1.4drop front and back or even up to 1.75 as it settles. Well I like my ride LOW...and I don't think the E.Sportlines will please me. I also have a R33 Front Bumper and about to get OEM side skirts(still deciding on a rear) and don't know if I should just keep the Eibachs or get something lower. I don't want to get something lower and then have it WAY to low because of the kit...you know. Suggestions and/or opinions please. I really can't decide. If anyone does know of a site where I can get some good, w/good prices on some springs, coil overs, etc. w/AT LEAST a 2"drop, please post it. Oh yeah and free shippin is tyte to....

Well do you want coilovers or springs? and if you want coilovers, do you want sleeved coilovers or true coilovers?
Well lets start with springs I guess. First off there aren't any shocks out but konis and the lower you go the increased chance you have of blowing your shocks. the konis are just inserts and require you to modify your front struts to get them to fit. If you want a low drop try neuspeed sports or goldlines. Neuspeed race springs will drop even lower. look in the Suspension FAQ for more info!
Now if you want sleeved coilovers, ground control and skunk2 seem to be the two best. Remember that whenever you change the height you should get an alignment. also, they DO NOT come with shocks and again you will probably need new shocks within 6 months depending on your roads and your driving.
If you want to spend the money on True Coilvers, there are a bunch of options. Teins are good but don't lower as much as B & G. Tein has the Tein SS and the Tein Basic Damper, both for around $1000. B & G are the same price. These are full replacements and they come with integrated shocks. There are also HP racing, Progress, and H&R coilovers coming out soon.
Last but not least, H&R is developing a cup kit which is a match spring and shock combo. It will lower around 2 inches in the front and 1.7 in the rear. This isn't out yet, but should be out soon.
