Re: suspension pros & cons

["koabi brooks" <koabi@lazyslacker.com>]

here is my setup:

tokico non-adjustables and eibach sportline springs all around. the 
front springs are progressive (at least thats what it looks like).  so 
far i like it.  its not too rough, and it lowers it nicely.  of course 
take anything i say with a bucket of salt, since i was driving on cut 
front hörrible springs before.

this is how it sits

If you were only doing 1 - 1.5 inches you could do lowering springs...2
inches you need the cup kit or coilovers.
