Eh, been a little while...so I thought I'd update. The car is still sitting while I'm awaiting on tax return, paychecks, etc to get here so I can finally get my car back on the road. It's tags are dead and I have to get it renewed with the DMV...I already had the insurance notified and readjusted my costs, blah blah..I'm looking at driving again now sometime before Easter, lol...I'm going to visit some family members in Ohio for Easter and I want to use that as a "break in" time for the motor....
...Also, I am going to be doing the suspension work shortly...whenever the tax return shows up. I'm thinking of doing KYBAGX's w/ intrax springs....haven't truely decided yet and I'm open to suggestions..I want LOW!! Anybody know of good somewhat cheap coilovers maybe that will offer a 1"+ drop??? No tein..thats later

Ok...that's cool only $400...that ain't bad at all! Um...quick ? though...would I still need to buy the shocks? It says something about using only w/ KONI shocks for some of the applications...are the coilovers a direct replacement for the stock spring/shock setup?

Lowering springs? Tokico- about $200 for set of 4, Suspension Techniques $229 /4, Eibach $329-$349. All give you about a 1" drop.

Do the STs give a good drop though? I would like a 1" or better..is the drop noticeable..I'm doing this for looks because I have a big wheel gap in the rear w/ my 16 wheels and 50 series sidewalls...I just might go w/ those ground controls though
