It's a good overall setup. I'd say go for it, if that's what you're thinking.

I didnt think Tokico Blues could handle the possible lowness ( i know its not a word, but it gets the point across) anway, could handle the possible lowness of the GC's.

I thought the GC's on their lowest setting could and probably would blow a Blue.

I thought Tokico BLues were only for a mild drop, such as neuspeed sport, H&R Sport, or Eibach

As for the Neuspeed, i just installed mine and i LOVE IT, makes a HUGE difference.

I would.

Koni yellows and GC's are arguably the best suspension setup for our cars.

I just installed neuspeed sport lowering springs and tokico blue premium shocks on my 03 ex and it hadles like a dream.SOOOOO much more responsive and turns that I could take at 60 I can now take a 85 to 90 mph.When I do 0-60 the car does not move at all when I shift, it just smoothly zips to 60.The next thing I am getting is a DC short shift kit.It is normally like 100 dollars or so but they have them on sale for 60,for only this month at Inlinefour.com. Can some one please help me find a 24mm front and 20mm rear sway bar from comptech. I really want the 3 Position Adjustable Sway Bar, that mounts to the aluminum tie bar, but I dont know if they make them for the em2.......any one know????

-black 2003 ex
-neuspeed sport springs
-tokico premium shocks
-k&N ram air
-Garmin 340c portable navigation system

yep lots of people told me they would only push for a 1.5 inch drop at most. I'm personally doing sportlines and koni's. Don't forget the camber kit.

You could always do D-Specs instead of Premiums.
