i would go w' the 2' myself, but you need to get the aftermarket shocks/struts too because the stock ones will wear out really fast. also with that much drop you will need a camber kit front and rear, and then get a good alignment.

but being they are the "race" springs they might be a bit harsh on the street, and maybe you should look for something softer unless that is what you are going for. tien s-techs come highly recommended on this forum, and offer a smooth ride, and are designed to work with the stock shocks, but i would still recommend a camber kit

most places are the same price. skunk2 front camber kit runs 150 on ebay. struts on ebay range from 200-400 depending on your price range and what you want 2 do with your car.

I am going to go with 1.5" to avoid all the extra expense.

Hey I am digging this up from the SEARCH pile! Any updates on your suspensions, guys? I was almost given a pair of neuspeed springs for free but they would drop me 2 inches and I cant start paying for more components! Did you find any good deals on suspension stuff you can tell us about? Thanks!
