Im looking to lowerin it, but I dont wanna spend all the money in the world, what is the best spring to get, and should I get struts?

how low did you want to drop your car?

but yea about the shocks, you don't have to get them at the same time. but the big thing about getting put on at the same time is that you save on labor. you get them put on at the same time, 1 installation charge. you put them on seperately, thats two installation charges.

Eibachs are alledgedly the best compromise between comfort and lowering height. You might also wantr to check out teins...I think there might be some cats on here w/ them, but I'm not sure.

Have you looked at the gap? 1.5" won't make it go away!

Seriously, if that's all you want, then Eibach would be the way to go - as Mindless writes.

But - I gotta tell you - I was looking at the same minimal drop at first for the same reasons. I ended up putting on TEINs recently b/c I got a good deal on them and even with the 2.0 front (2.2 for V6)/1.7 rear drop - and on stock shocks for now - the ride is goooood. The gap is disappered and I am very happy with the results.
