Looking to Lower My 2.3 CL

Hey,

I know, I know, I know, another suspension question!!!

Anyways, I am looking into lowering my '98 2.3 CL, and I was needing some help along with some opinions. I know, from reading other posts (threads, whatever) that if I go lower than the Eibach ProKit (1.3"), then I'll need a camber kit which isn't a problem. I was thinking of a drop around 2.25" (Arospeed springs on ebay) because I've read that tires will start to rub if it gets any lower with a bigger rim/tire combo, which is the goal for next spring.

What would ya suggest?

springs or coilovers?
what kind is the best?
how low to go? THE LOWER THE BETTER!!!!
and a decent price?

Pictures would help alot so I can see what the finished product would look like. Please post any pictures or email them to me.

oh sorry and welcome to the forum..the lower the better imo, but you sacrifice driveability...i have neuspeed springs/struts..love em..but they are local to me and they are a bit costly...other than that..just dont buy cheap stuff!!

A large majority of people (including me) wish they would have dished out the extra $200 or so for some Teins.
Fair warning!!

if youre going to shell out the money for brand new shocks/springs/camber kit, you might as well spend a couple hundred more and get the tein ss. But for me, i bought my H&R's and KYB AGX's used for $200 and installed it with the help of my friend pics are in my homepage
