Lowering springs

Which coilovers are best? which doe you guys have or prefer? How low should i go?? I looked at some TEIN but they only drop 1" in the front and 0.8" in the back. Im also putting on some 17" VOXX rims with 215/40/17 tires....

Questions I have for you in order to give you the best possible answer.

1). What's your budget for suspension?
2). How low do you want to go?
3). Do you mind rolling your fenders?
4). What is the width and offset of the wheels you're looking to buy?

It'll cost much more than that. For 200 you can get some springs, but you'll have to replace your struts because you'res will wear out prematurely. Then theres installation unless you think you can tackle it. I heard it's not that hard, but I wouldn't do it alone. Also, an alignment can cost another $50 to $100 depending on where you go. Dropping a car costs a lot man.

You could always get these http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...uestid=2711538

and tell us how they turn out.
