I am looking at dropping my car slightly for a more aggressive look but I do not want coilovers nor do I want to lower it to the point where I need a camber kit. This is for a daily driver car also able to drive in the winter.

1. How low can I go (F/B) so that I will not have uneven tire wear?
2. What suggestions on brand name springs?
3. Buy springs w/ shocks or leave stock shocks? Whats the difference?
4. Any other suggestions?

I am looking for a new set of wheels, particularly the 14" Enkei's on the HX.

Thanks.
