Default Newbie question on lowering a Del Sol

I just purchased a 95 Del Sol V-tech and am looking forward to doing my first mods. Specifically one of the first things on my list is to lower my car about 2 inches. I'm looking for something inexpensive and since I don't really plan on racing my del sol I'm looking for more of a comfortable ride vs. high end racing performance.

Any suggestions on lowering springs for a newbie?

Get some coilover sleeves, that way you can control the ride height, usually they go from .5 to 3in depending where you put them

Skunk2 - $280 - $315
Ground Control - $285 - $385
Arospeed - $130
APC & Other Assorted Cheap-O Brands - $95 - $150

But if your set on springs, some Eibach Sportlines drop 1.5 - 2.0in
Here are some Online Store to gauge some prices, just shop around...
