Okay I've got 19" Axis Hagens... 19x8 on 35 series tires....
I do NOT want an agressive drop. I just want to at least minimize the horrid wheel gap and I'm on a budget.
As a result, I think springs are the way to go, not coilovers.
I know that almost any spring setup I look at I'll need a camber kit which I'm prepared for. But I do not know if I'll need new shocks/struts....
I've been looking at the:
Eibach Pro Kit, and Comptech lowering springs... ?
Any/All advice would be greatly appreciated. I've also been through the wheel gallery and suspension setup thread, and I can't seem to find a pic of a 19/Slight Drop combo...
thanks again for any help!

I used the Eibach Pro-Kit for a year and was very happy with them. The drop is perfect F/R. I used the stock shocks for 15k miles and didn't feel it was bouncy at all, although roads here in VA are very good. I upgraded to Tein coilovers later, which I feel is a fine path for lowering

Right now I'm leaning towards the Ingalls rear camber and eibach pro kit...
thoughts?
PS.... Tampa has excellent roads. Well not excellent, but I never come into contact with potholes and shiat.

Well 235-35/19's are expensive... so i dont wanna wear them excessively for no good reason; i'd rather get the camber kit for $140 than spend $270 per tire prematurely...
so general consensus is what thus far... prokit on stock shocks/struts with the camber; good for at least 20k miles or so? ---given good road conditions??
