I had a 99 coupe with body kit lowered with Eibach pro-kit 1.5. It was fine and I was happy with that because I live in MA...do get some inches of snow in winter. Depends on how low you want...if you have no body kit...you can definately go lower.

It's all up to you.
Measure your height and see how much you want.

it's all up to you man. Are you going by coilover? or Spring? ..

Most spring will give you 1.5in drop average, which is good enough since you care about snow plowing for your neighbors.

NO! Stay away from eBay kits. You want quality here.

H&R Sport Springs w/ Tokico HP Shocks....gets my vote.
