lowering and new shocks on a 92 cel

I was looking at upgradeing my suspension. I have a few question. First what lowering springs will fit i keep hearing about Eibach pro lowering spring for my car but i see them for a 95-98 will these fit for a 92 tercel, which would be best. I don't want something to stiff or to bouncy what other lowering spring options do i have. Which paseo one would fit my car Im planing on getting kyb-gr2 shocks for my car with, mr7 rims 15x6.5 with 195/50/15 tires does this sound like a good set up

I think the 195/50/15 is about the most perfect replcement tire size as far as keeping your speedometer and odometer accurate, getting an improved look, and not breaking the bank when time comes to replace tires. That is what I have on my car.
I am using Paseo springs and shocks and get about a 1" drop in the front and 2" drop in the back, but my car is an '89 and I think your car's shocks and mount points are the same as the Paseo, I'm not sure.

yes you can use 95+tercel suspension on a 91-94 tercel, or any years paseo

Sorry. I am not sure I was clear in what I posted before. The Paseo suspension lowered my car ('89 EZ), I am not sure if it would lower a newer tercel, or just be a straight swap with no gain.
The shock mount points on my rear axle are lower, than those on the Paseo's rear axle.
The Paseo shocks, struts and springs are also shorter than those of the '89 Tercel.
