Default looking for a small drop

Just finished a B18C swap in a CRX and hate the 4x4 stance.

I want to get something decent that will lower the front 1", and the back maybe 2.5". I want to keep my stock struts if at all possible. Any recommendations?

The one's I'm looking at now are the TEIN S-Tech's.

Don't use stock shocks.

Ride quality will suck and they will eventually blow.

Does the motor make that big of a difference in weight to where you want to be 1.5" lower in the rear?

it looks like a funny car. low in the front, high in the back.

So I guess yeah, the motor weighs enough for the car to sit lower in the front than stock.

I'm just going to wait a couple more months until I get more funds to build a full suspension setup. GC/Koni yellow, ST sway bar, front and rear tie bars, energy suspension bushings, and so on.

I was just looking for something temporary until then, but I realized it's not worth blowing money on something your just going to replace soon.

But thanks though.
