lowering a car, your thoughts?
my next step in my car is to lower it, i was thinking that i would go eibach prokit for about 1.3" drop and a camber kit to help with alignment for even tire wear. would this be the best route to go for a daily driven car?
I want a lowered look but with good suspension, and on a budget? what have you guys tried on your ride, what works what doesn't?

That's not funny.

i got skunk2 coilovers and stock teg struts, rides good but i have 16" gabs so it sits just right....oh yeah they are on the lowest setting (left my friend and my car alone to lower it back to the height i had it at after coming from the shop, found it droped to the lowest setting and left it like that)...daily driven

Sounds like a decent street setup. You might also consider replacing the shocks if they have a ton of miles on them, since you'll have everything taken apart to do the srpings anyway. However, don't bother wasting money on a camber kit. Even lowered to flushed tires, I only had -2.2* of camber in the front, which is perfectly fine for the street. Besides, a replacement UCA type camber kit will further reduce what little fron suspension travel you'll have left after lowering, as the upper ball joint is taller.
