Keep in mind that a drop of 2" will cost you not only the price of the springs, but a camber kit.

Also, no matter how much you drop the car, you'll need a front end alignment.

Also, keep in mind the cost of installation (unless you do it yourself).

Eibach Pro-Kit will drop you about 1.4" and not require a camber kit.


EDIT: I also recommend changing your shocks/struts at the time of the drop. You can certainly keep the stock shocks, but there's no guarantee how long they'll last.

of want to go lower than what the prokits go then be prepared to see the rest of your cash disappear because just like dust said you going to need a camber kit and alignment plus the cost of the springs and new shocks then installation of all that

Pro Kit + KYB's+allignment = $560 Self installed
560+camber kit=$700
700+install=prob more than your 812

IMO, i wish i went lower on the drop, but the lower drop would be almost all cosmetic differences anyway, and all i wanted was good cheap performance. Keep that in mind.....
