If you run springs the back of your car will sag a little more. I have H&R sport springs that I had on before my currents and this is what itll look like. The black slips are 16" and the gunmetal are 15". If you have or are going to be running 15" rims your going to wanna get coilovers because 2 1/2 isnt enough. Im currently running 15's and they dont go too well with a drop on springs. Ksport or Progress Coilovers ftw

Yep. If you really wanna go past 2" cheap you can buy some coilover sleeves. If not i suggest getting full coilovers. Progress or Ksport

LOL ill trade you my apartment for your boosted k20a? They are pretty nice, but a little spendy. But anyways, YES, white is totally right on anything over 2 1/2 will affect your driving ability. You WILL feel a lot more bumps... well i should say every bump. And you will have to drive sideways over speed bumps. And you will have a horrible time explaining to your girlfriend why your car feels like a roller coaster. But hey, Itll look nice
Personally, Im actually thinking of just getting some shocks to go with my springs instead of going 3" on coils as I ALREADY have a hard time with **** at 2 1/2. I actually wasnt paying attention today and scraped the **** out of my car after going over too steep of a curb. LUCKILY, I didnt [freak] up my oil pan and blow my engine. I HIGHLY suggest you think twice about going any lower than 2-2 1/2. Some tein springs and some koni yellows would do the trick for daily driveing. Anything over 2 1/2 will look nice, but your car is [freak]ed if your city has any potholes. It is your car, do what you like.

WTF? All the pics are of cars that are pleasantly lowered. Why would you want the car dragging the ground with crazy camber? You won't be able to correct the rear wheel camber beyond a 1" drop unless you want the fender wells to rip into the side of your tires.

This is a perfect drop for an EP3:

But, whatever, drop yours to the ground. I would point and laugh.
