save more money and get the tein basic damper setup and front and rear camber kits and alignment
so
700+100+15+50=865-your 500= almost there, just a little more

You can do it for 500 with tokico's/kyb's and some tein springs and have a decent ride.

Some people don't need a full-out coilover setup and could use that extra $400 for other things. I only put $400 total into my lowering setup and I love it. Is it race quality, no, but it definitely improved my autoX times and still has a great ride on the street. It's all in what you're looking for.

To the creator of this thread, do a little bit of searching for more info. If you're only going for a mild drop, Tokico HPs are fairly cheap and a little more aggressive than stock. Thats what I run on my car. If you want a little more sport, go for the more expensive adjustable Illuminas or KYB AGXs. As for springs, the mild drops that I've heard good things about are of course, the Pro-Kits, the Tokico HP spring/strut kit thats on eBay and the H&R Sports, which are what I run. You've got a lot to choose from and it all depends on what look/feel you're going for. Oh yeah, and make sure you keep that camber in adjustment and get an alignment when you're done.



She's been sold My best friend bought her though, so she's still in good hands.
