suspension questions?

My springs that I currently have are the EIBACH Pro-kit. I believe that the drop is only 1.2 all around. Are there springs that offer more drop? Want to get lower to the ground...maybe 1.5 or even lower. Any companies out there that offer them? If so which ones? Also anyone interested in selling their set?

Thanks ahead of time. Would of tried the search function but for some reason it won't let me access this question.

I bought them from a local shop here in Hawaii for $130.00. Or something like that. I forget the exact figure but it was some where around there.

So Intrax makes a 1.7 drop huh? Wow that is pretty low. Not sure if I want to go down that low though. I will go and check out the site. Thank you for your time I really appreciate it!!

Anyone know if some one makes one for about a 1.5 drop? I figure that would be better since it is a daily driver.

Thanks again ahead of time.

does .2-.3 inches make a difference for you?
seriously...think about it.

you want lower then go 1.7 drop. if you want to go all out make yourself some coil overs.

coil overs huh........yeah I have played around with that option before and I believe that someone on the forums tried to get a group buy going for one of those. But I think that the price was around $1,500 for a custom set. Are there any companies that now offer coil overs for the 3rd gen? Last I checked it would have to be custom made from scratch.

If I did go with 1.7 drop......would I be needing a camber kit? Need to make the tires last as long as possible. 18 inch tires are crazy expensive!

Suspension Techniques springs are 1.5" drop. Get them at jcwhitney.com. I didn't need a camber kit when I had mine installed.
