HELP!! Looking in to Lowering Springs...

alright guys, im looking in to my first suspension mod! i got some 20'' rims and theres still a pretty big gap! I'd like to fill it by lowering it a bit!

I am looking in to lowering springs since i dont want the hassle or big chunk of money out of my wallet from coilovers too...

Any advice or recommendations as to what kind or how low i can i go without having rubbing problems?

All sides are at different heights, but i was thinking 1.5''?

How picky are you about an even stance? Coils are the only was to get the exact drop you want.

I'm on springs and all 4 corners are slightly different heights. Most people would never notice, but I do and it makes me want coils down the road.

I just ordered Tein S-Techs last night and the website states 1.2 drop in front and 1.3 drop in rear. I just searched the forums before deciding on what to buy to read reviews and check out picks of the final look.

I am also looking at springs and the s-techs are one of my options. I have also noticed the Tanabe NF210 on excelerates website I am considering these as well. Anyone have any opinions on the Tanabe's?
