Well you better have shocks and a camber kit otherwise it will look really gay and ride like crap at 2.5"

All my friends have ground control coilovers. from what i have heard they are really good but kinda expensive. when i get coilovers ground controls are the ones i'm going with.

Good choice on the camber kit. I'd say go for it, just don't do to big of a drop. And I'd recomend KYB adjustables. I have them with GC's and they ride great, imo.

i know i'm gonna go against the crowd here but i have arospeed coilovers...hey they were 100 bucks and my friend had em and they felt good so i got a set, plus i needed something cheap to hold me until i got a REAL set of coilovers...

well...i've had them for 8 months, and they have been awesome. Great reduction in body roll, and the ride is pretty smooth with the stock struts. I dropped it about 2.25" in front and 1.5" in back. None of the struts have blown yet, and i have only mild camber issues in the front. The springs have NOT started to sag yet, i actually think sometimes my car is higher than the day before

So...for those who can't afford the good ****...i'm giving my vote to arospeed...they havent let me down yet
