O yeah, most definately !!! It made the rear end sit down and look way better !!

Only downside to these springs is that they are bouncy, you need some stiff shocks to counteract that otherwise you go bouncy bounce down the road.

I wouldn't say "stiff" is the correct adjective. I'd say "properly valved", simply because you can still have a soft damper that will control the rebound on them properly.

The tokico's wont really hold to good with a 2" drop... you can blow them pretty quick

get some tokiko illuminas. they are 5 way damper adjustable and btw ive pretty much always ran some type of tokikos thru the years. i recently had some 2.25" drop springs on my car but my car still had a little more fender gap then i would have liked. im currently back to stock height for the moment at least until ups comes with my tein goodies. and i will still run my illuminas with at least a 2" drop and have no prob at all.

go with the neuspeed ones. they are pretty much the best. also the hp's are junk compared to the illuminas but the price is high.
