Default Suspension set up

before anyone says anything I have searched but my question may be a tad too specific.
first off I have a 95 eg6 that I was looking to lower maybe 1-1.5"s. nothing lower than that as I live in Vermont with lot of dirt roads and such.
I intend on eventually getting rims but I would like to try and keep tire size near oem, maybe a little thinner. i wouldnt have to worry about tire rub if i only go down 1-1.5" inches correct?
also what would be a good combo for strut and spring.
I've been looking at weaksauce.com (http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/home.php?cat=707)
and been trying to decide between either eibach or tein springs.

anyways i would appreciate any help anyone is willing to throw my way. thanks in advance guys.

from personal experience go with the eibach sportline springs and a decent set of shock. kyb or whatever you like. that will drop your car in the range you are looking for with a very confortable ride and no tire rub. its not a slammed set up at all.

my experience with the tein s-techs are that they are crap. very soft. lower than the eibach sport lines. ride is confortable but i believe my handling got worse imo. and i scrap coming out of alot of places with curbs.


this was when i was on eibach sportlines and stock shocks. my tires we're 205-50-15
