Well I am leaning towards the H&R sport springs wich are about a 1.5" drop. I'm getting my new 17" wheels next week, and i have enought money for only the springs for now. How will the ride be with the stock struts? I know that they won't last long wich is ok, and i will only need several more months to have the cash for some struts. I will be doing all the work myself, using a car lift and air tools, so i dont really care about the labor of taking the stuff apart a few times. So will the stockers be fine for a little while, and will the ride be ok also? What do you guys think?

Post some pics when you're done! What springs are you going to get? I suggest the H&R Race springs though. I just dropped 2" and my front camber is -1.8 degrees in the front. If you go 2" then make sure you do the $15 rear camber mod and get an extreme grade front correction kit.

Yeah i'll def be postin some new pix, but i'm not tellin what wheels i'm gettin Its nothing fancy, or new design or anything, but they are 17" siver painted racing wheels. They will look very good on the car. I didn't want anyting too flashy, cause i wanna keep my exterior on the down-low so to speak. I'm going with the H&R sport springs, i believe 1.7 drop in front, and 1.4 in rear. I don't want any lower, cause we have shitty roads here in MI. I am looking forward to it And get this, total spent on rims and tires= around 800 buucks..It really pays to work for a shop that gets REAL wholesale discounts..
