    You could go for springs that don't drop so low. The eibach, trd, and hotchkis drop 1.1,1.25, and 2" respectively

    Hotchkis makes more logical sense to me. its a noticable drop, not too low and also they have the most suspension for our cars. eibach is good as well as TRD but i dont think its worth it cuz they dont really dorp tht much. i mean the Eibach's make the wheel well even all around but it also breaks down to personal opinion.

    also what trim u got, cuz S will need more attention with scraping on our crapy roads and well those mornings with fresh snow aint gonna be your friend either. I am personally leaning toward Hotchkis, yeye has em and he's in chicago so i'm waitiing to see how badly he gets stuck (or not) so then i'll make up my mind. i had money saved up for those this summer but the delima made me just look past the whole area all together. i may just get Ground Controls, slam the car in the summer, raise it back up in the winter, and on that topic, Koni has struts for us too, those might not be a bad idea. peace.

    Rims and tires first then supension. Once you have that down, make it go fast.

    well what altis said is sort of true but IMO, drop first and then get wheels so you know how wide you can go inorder to prevent rubbing when you corner hard and all that.

    yeah i got CE too. the way i look at it, my old car sat at 4" off the ground on stock height and this one is abut 6.5 so if i were to get hotchkis, i'll be at the height of the old car. i personally wanna go lower so that is the reason i'm savin for Ground Control's for next summer. that way i can go back to stock height in the winter and slam in the summer.
