If you would, tell me what you lowered on, coil overs, springs. Do you ever scrape? And how is the ride?? How low before a camber kit was needed? Also wondering how much 16s or 17s would raise the front end off the ground if the same springs were used in a car with stock rims. And one last thing, when did u find new shocks necessary? Thanx.

I have KYB AGX and they work great with a prokit..I wouldnt go cheap on suspension so save your money until you can get a good pair of shocks/springs. dont buy the ebay crap! I have seen some illuminus for sale on the partstrader for $200 go get em!

Yeah Im on 17's with prokits and it is a relatively nice drop. Dont scrape much and gives it a more aggressive look. I did the $15 camber mod and it worked nicely too. Still off just a little tho but factory specs call for -1 degree i believe. yeah i agree with ^^ dont buy ebay crap. prokits or h&r's with kyb adjustables and illuminas are good. So there you go.

I was lowered on sportlines. They settled out bad and the drop was too much. Not for how it is, but when I fit my blitz type 2's up, they were practically on the ground. Now, I have a pro kit. It's better, but it settled to where thesportlines were b4 they settled, which was a good height. I think they look about the same as sportlines when u 1st do them. Anyhow. I need struts. I hate the rie quality without struts. You need struts when u lower on anything except for true coilovers. And they are like $2k.

H&R Race springs and Tokico blues here, it rides fairly well. If you have the money go for the illuminas.

H&R Race Springs and Tokico Illuminas.

We put on the springs at about 65,000 miles. The stock shocks held up pretty good for another 30,000 miles or so. Then, just short of 100,000 miles we finally replaced them with the Illuminas. I highly recommend that combination...

>Do you ever scrape?

Sometimes. After a while you'll get used to taking all dips and bumbs at an angle and it's not bad at all.

>And how is the ride??

Great, I love it. Except for when I'm sick cause it's a bit stiff

>How low before a camber kit was needed?

Lowered 2" and camber kit needed badly. Any lower then 1" and I would get a camber kit.

>Also wondering how much 16s or 17s would raise the front end off
>the ground if the same springs were used in a car with stock rims.

They shouldn't at all. The radius of 16s or 17s (wheel and tire combo) should be as close as possible to the stock wheel and tire radius.

>And one last thing, when did u find new shocks necessary? Thanx.

Like I said, after 95,000 miles and 30,000 of them lowered the stock shocks were pretty much gone. Some people had to replace them much earlier. If you can, get them at the same time because it also saves you time and labor of putting them in at the same time.

Hope this helps
