Default Lowering! Couple of questions...

Well I'm graduating HS so I'm getting all kinds of cash from the relatives (hopefully). So I'm prolly gonna use it to lower my car. I def. want to do it right, springs/shocks/camber kit... and I am going to have it professionally installed. I'm looking for suggestions of good combo. set ups preferrably with pics. I searched but it's such a pain to search for something like this. Thanks in advance. So far I'm looking at something more than a Pro-Kit drop... Maybe something along the lines of 1.5-1.75 drop? And I know nothing about shocks... How many fingers would that be? I'm in a 1995 EX coupe with EX Alloys.

You'd probably be looking at Neuspeed Sports or Eibach Sportline.

How much money you think you will get? I would aim for some full coils. Apex, Tein or the Tokico.

Nightshade...

What struts do you have? That looks very very low... What is the drop? (Springs[the rated numbers or whatever] and Total[measured/approx.]).

Here's pics of my set up. I like it a lot!!

H&R sports 1.75" front, 1.5" rear
KYB AGX

I haven't had the need for a camber kit yet, I personally don't think you'll need one. If you're dropping over 2" then i'd get one.

Click on the link for pics. Click on the pics TWICE and they'll enlarge even more. The drop looks even and clean.
I'm on some 17" Racing Hart C5 Evos w/ 215/45/17 Yokohama ES100s

Hope this helps...

It says your photo album has expred Dang I got all excited. As of now I'm thinking Neuspeed Sports or H&R sports, which are the same if I'm not mistaken. I see aux's car but his is a little too low for me, so what shocks would put me a little higher than he is?

And other opinions on camber kits?

I have H&R Sport and Koni Yellow. The ride is great and handles a lot better. I just got an alignment done and loosk like I don't need any camber kit for the front but I need one for the rear. However, I am getting the full kit anyway because I might drop it a little more.

Not a good pic but you get the idea. Since I got 17's wheels and tires last week and now I need to drop it a little more because the gap looks kind of big (205/45/17).
