Default Lowering Springs for a EG???

Looking to see what u guys would recomend for lowering springs. I have a 95 CX, Im on a budget so I'm looking at the "best bang for the buck". I want about a 2.25-2.5 drop ( yea i know its pretty low, but i think EGs look best slammed) to cover the wheel gap. I want a even drop! not lower in front, higher in back thing. What do u guys think? I had Ground Controls Coilovers on my old GSR and liked them, should I fork out some extra cash and get those, My buddy purchased some neuspeed springs for his teg and its a very nice drop.

P.S. if u have pics of EGs lowered on springs you purchased.. etc etc post them up

On my EX-girlfriend's car, I installed a set of PROGRESS lowering springs and they worked great. The ride was as good as stock. Plus they were not too shabby on the price either. I paid around $165 for the set. HMMmmm, I wonder if I could get them back....NAh!! The b***h could keep them...... lol ...j/k.

I've got neuspeed race in my eg6 with bilstein shocks and it rides firm, but not hard enough to shake you to bits on long drives. Works pretty well on the track too, IMO it's a good balance for track and daily driving.

I had Neuspeed Race Drop on my EG.....talk about body roll.

I loved my H&R's way better. H&R also guarantee's no sag.

Each set of springs I used was also with Tokico blues.

When using Neuspeed and H&R springs does the ride bounce at all on stock shocks?
