Re: suspension question

moderate drop, cost efficient

KYB AGX and Eibach Pro-kit , i believe jessica sells them in a group buy for something like 535 as a set on www.club3g.com

as far as better drops i've heard a bunch of things, but i only have al ittle experience w/ this set and its the one i plan on getting if/when i ever get money

Re: suspension question

The group buy is just when there are a bunch of people buying it at the same time so that you can get a better price for it (buying in bulk). Yes they are adjustable. Up to 1.6" drop in front and like 1.4 in the back. The shocks are adjustable for different spring rates, and they are real easy to do, all you need is a screwdriver and you can do it.

just to clear up any confusion, the DROP is not adjustable. the way that you worded it above, it seemed like the 1.6" drop was adjustable. the shocks/struts are adjustable, not the springs.

for visual reference of the AGX/Prokit combo...

yes, it is dropped as far as the eibach pro-kit will allow it to be.

just so you understand, lowering springs are not adjustable. if you lower the car with lower springs, you cannot specify how far the drop is. you either drop the car all the way by installing the kit, or you don't drop the car at all by not installing the kit. there is no middle ground with lowering springs.
