i'm not sure exactly how much my car was dropped in this picture, i'd say roughly 1.75

KYB AGX shocks and Ground Control Coilovers with stock del sol wheels and (at the time) stock tire size

That red del sol looks ok, but are my eyes playing tricks on me or do I see Altezza's??

Anyways, are you definately going to get springs or would you consider coil overs. Skunk2 makes a decent set of coil overs and paired with some nice struts you will have a pretty good handling car for not too much money....

Here is mine. 2 inch drop using Intrax Sport Springs. Handles great and have never had any complaints but I'm getting ready to swap them out for coil overs this summer because I want to be able to adjust them when I need to.

This is the only pic that i have of my car right now but this is the last one that i will post until it is Pheonix Yellow and has been lowered BTW in this pic it is very dirty so it doesn't shine like it normaly does.

NO NOT THIS AGAIN MY TIRES ARE NOT ON BACKWARDS!! They are non-directional tires so the treads look like this.

Not like this.

So it doesn't matter what way they spin

Sportlines are fine springs. Should be just the right amount of drop.

For reference, here is a Sol with Pro-Kit springs:



And a Sol with Sportlines:

now that i see pictures, i'm thinking about going with a 2.0" drop as well. i was thinking about 1.5 in front and 1.25 in rear, but i want to almost completely eliminate my wheel gap, and i guess i'd have to go with more of a drop.

Here's my car with ~2.25" drop up front, 2" out back. It looks a little weird because of the black plastic trim around the wheelwells. For some reason it doesn't look as low as it would without that.

generic coilovers i bought brand new for only $100...but for only being $100 i really like them. the coilovers are called racer design. never heard of them, but if you just wanna lower your car for cheap i'd recommend them. i'm hoping to upgrade to Tein SS Dampers soon.

Right now i am trying to decide between the eibach sportlines and the neuspeed sport springs the only thing that i see that is different is the neuspeeds are lower in the front than they are in the back and my car rides just a little higher in the front which i don't like so which one should i go with neuspeeds or eibachs witch one is higher quality
