Re: gettin low....

I would say eather get coilovers and go as low as you want, or get a good 2' drop spring like Skunk2. One thing you have to think about is that most springs will sag and give you a lower drop then they say, but 2' should be fine. Get some good struts before you even get your springs. This way you will not be to tempted to put them on your stock struts. And take it from me you don't wanna have to do the job twice. If you put them on stock struts you will blow them out and then have to take the springs off again to put them on new struts. The struts you should get are aftermarket, KYB, Koni. You can find them on any import web site. Good luck, and don't forget do things right the first time.
