(opps this is WiLL)
you wont need it again...sell it to me. jk...ur from canada, shipping is biatch.

i think i got 2 in front, 4 in rear. still too stiff for me. i never take my car to its limits....so i rather have my comfort back. i maybe put it all to the softest setting again.


rodneyk: i dont think new shocks are needed, since the drop and difference in ratings is very minimal. ive seen a used set sold from $80-150. new will cost about $50-60 each.

on 1991 2dr LS
sprints - 2.5/2.25" drop, hella harsh compared to stock, but of course i also had improved handling

eibach sportlines 1.8/1.3" drop, stock like ride (but still rough), good handling.

progress springs. nice drop and gets rid of that wheel gap. rode pretty good too on stock shocks for awhile. then i got my koni's and it actually made my car a lil lower, but handling was better tho.



dont mind the gap in front, my cars on the driveway. i should really take a pic on level ground. h:

Just put Ground control coilovers and tokico illuminas on and I like 'em. I don't remember what spring rates I'm using(I have it written down at home). The shocks are set to 2 up front and 3 in the rear. The ride is good and It's just the right height. Not quite as low as integ2envy's(as far as the height of the wheel well to the top of the tire is concerned). Next on the list is wheels for me. I like the kosei K1's, not sure which tires though as I'm not much of a racer, I just like to drive at a rapid rate of speed By the way, Mine looks just like his sans two doors and the rims. Oops and the hood.

I have the H&R sport springs-- more of a drop than the OE springs, but still is high enough that you don't have to go everything super slow. I think these are the springs you're looking for-- when i find pics, i'll show you.
