eibach for dd for sure. how much are you looking to lower it?
ground controls use eibach springs and are nice because you can adjust it but without aftermarket shocks they wont ride that good, which in my opinon you should replace them either way

So you told me to buy eibach springs ...

i'm looking for 1.2 -1.5 in drop ...

are there is any problem if the eibach pro-kit installed with the OEM shocks ??
it will be comfotable or not ?

all what i'm looking for is 1.2-1.5 drop and comforable ride on the High-Way...

yes eibach are arguably the best springs on the market.
you would see much better results if you get aftermarket shocks made for a lowerd car but you could use them on stock if you wanted to, depending on the spring, some are acutally made to work with the stock shock.

Some are, but i dont belive those ones will give you the drop your looking for, call eibach and ask them.
there is kyb agx, tokico illumnia, knoi str-t, and koni yellow.
can get them from ebay, weaksauce, just look around.
on a lowerd car yes, aftermarket is normally better then oem.

What about Skunk 2 springs on OEM shocks? I have a 2003 4 cyl and I want to lower it 2 inches.

Thanks
