Re: New Here...Any1 Sugest Lowering Kit
Welcome to AF.
There are many different suspention setups people use. I run Tokico springs and struts and they are great. Lowered about 2inches, rides good, not to stiff but handles great. Search around some to see some other options

Re: New Here...Any1 Sugest Lowering Kit
Welcome.
This forum has seperate sections for things like this (performance section). about lowering. As long as you get a good name brand spring, or spring/shock combo you should be good. Just don't get those cheap ass do-do ebay slipover style coilovers. The only lowering spring I have ever used is eibach and i like them so I suggest them. But other people have good results from brands like tokico and tein. Just get a good name brand, and you'll be straight

Re: New Here...Any1 Sugest Lowering Kit
Hey dude, welcome.
A pretty standard setup consists of KYB AGX shocks with either Eibach Prokit or Sportline springs and I think thats the way I will end up going when it comes time for me. Theres a couple pretty decent suspension writeups in our Tech Articles section, I would suggest sitting down and reading those.

Re: New Here...Any1 Sugest Lowering Kit
I think when he said not just springs he was talking about coilovers, but that's just my guess. I always recommend the Ground Control coilovers if you're looking for a decent price with great performance and a nice ride. They use an eibach spring so you know they'll last. Otherwise if you want to get a more expensive set, look into some Tein's, Megan Racing, or even some K-Sport ones. Like others said, do NOT get a non-brand name set, you'll will be sorry you did. They ride like absolute hell (speaking from personal experience) and take a toll on the rest of the suspension/car.
And welcome to AF. Just a side note, you'll find that a quick search will get you much faster results on such a generalized question.
