Thread titles MUST summarize the tech problem (be topic specific) so that members browsing titles can understand the problem without reading the post. Title edited.

Thanks guys I should have been more clear. I am going for springs. I was thinking Ebiach, s-tech, h-tech, megan, or DNA. I want less than 2 in drop maybe 1.5-2.0 I am on 14 in rims and dont wanna scrape too much. Springs less than $200. Any personal reviews? I just got new monroe struts the top of the line they make i think they are adjustable too.

Monroe and top of the line should not be in the same sentence. There are MANY shocks that are much better then the Monroe shocks.

As for springs, S tech's are decent, but spring rates are pretty low. I would lean towards the Eibach Sportline.

Eibach Sportlines will drop it 1.5-2" the Eibach Prokit will drop it 1-1.5"
Tein S-techs wiill drop you around 1.8" and H-techs will drop you about 1.2"

I'm not sure on the Teins but you should be able to get the Sportlines for $200 or less shipped by a sponsor.
