had my 2.5" drop for about 2 years now, no problems, but thank you for the smartass attitude.
hate to be rude...but you, sir, are a ***** and a moron. seriously. not needed for a minor drop? whatever. its one of the cheapest good setups out tehre. how is it not needed for a minor drop? it will give you a comfortable ride, lower your car 1.5-2 inches, and will improve handling like crazy...and it will only run you a good 350 bucks...which in the end is going to be cheaper anyway. look at tyler and his coils...sure he got 'em for cheap off of ebay...but he hates them and is shopping for some real suspension. think.

chill dude, just suspension....

1.5-1.75" drop is just great to work with ur 17" wheels. 2.5" drop is rediculas and pointless unless u really want that show look. yes stechs, h&rs, tokicos are all great names, cheap in price, and u wont be disapointed.

u wont need a camber kit with a 1.5" drop unless u have like 18" wheels or somethin like that..

very true, im looking into the h & r sport spring set up right now

coils suck, ive had two different sets and ive hated both of them

and in response to the camber issue:
if you get an alignment after you lower the car then usually you do not get camber issues

this is why i don't really like forum that much anymore, i was just giving a suggestion, but i guess your the suspension guru here, and your setup is the best, so what do i know? i wasn't being overbearing, i just don't like it when people argue that there advice is better than anyone elses, and i don't appreciate being called a *****, nor a moron, you wouldn't know because we've never meet. and a 2.5" drop is not "ridiculous", nor is it that costly for just a set of springs, i just got it for a temp setup till i get a full setup from adjustables to everything else. the only reason i said he should just go with the springs is because it sounds like he just wants a suddle drop, not any adjustable coils or anything over the top. if a little forum is going to get you that upset, i think you really need to get some help.

im just gona do a daily driver nothing showy or racey (yet)

i was just lookn for a nice cheap setup.

nail ur setup for the price is reli good, but all im lookin for is a CHEAP good setup.

ej was giving his opinion and theres no reason for the names. just argue in a formal manner and itll all b good.

like i said im not gona run my car lyk im on a track just wana make the gap go away. i am in the future prolly get a better setup but money for me is REAL hard to come by.

ya, really....no matter how many forums you search everyone is going to say somthing different, yes, no,mabey, i have just springs with no camber kit or shocks and love it..other people say you need a camber kit and different shocks

it all comes down to, if you want to drop your car and have no doubt in your mind that nothing is going to go wrong in the future..get a camber kit and shocks with your springs
