Default Lowerin' my Sol... 1.25" or 1.8" -?- Opinions please

I'm lookin at havin my Sol lowered, I was wonderin if anyone had pics of the different height variances out there. I'm looking at the Eibach sets.... Is there somethin' bigger and better out there now for Sols? I just picked up my 93 Si around June. Had a 93 Si before but I had to sell it to goto school. Time to get back in it

Thanks in advance

A 1.8" would look pretty good. Anything more and you can encounter tire rubbing (depending on rim size) scraping, curbs, ect... I used to have Neuspeed race springs on my Sol. 2.25" drop. It was a bit much. Now I have the Skunk2/Tokico Illumina set-up, and I think it is about the best you can do without going to something like Tien.

I ahve old school weaponR's (no helper spring) and they're 450lb/in front, 350 rear. Using kyb agx's for a 3rd gen teg, I love the setup. I leave the shocks all the way stiff all the time, threw on an Si rear sway bar, and it's great. Most people who drive the car love it, and think it corners amazingly, and I agree, but I plan on eventually getting a fat front sway bar (the S didn't come with one) and getting a bigger rear sway bar. After that, strut bars about the only other thing you can do. I have mine lowered about 2 inches with 205/50/15's and have never had any tire rubbing issues. Rolled fenders? **** that! cut out the lip, and seal it with underbody coating.
