redundant topic bout suspension but....
I know this has been discussed a million times but I just want a straightforward answer, I wanna get a new suspension to lower my max about 2 inches at most. From what I have gathered reading all the discussions about it theres very limited options, I just want to know what brands to look for as far as quality goes. Sorry for beating a dead horse but its still unclear what I need to look for and what I can realistically get away with.

Tein has never made springs for the 3rdgen, and tokico no longer produces struts for the 3rd gen...

tein doesn't make 3rd gen springs. you only got 2 brands, b&g and i forgot the other. blues are available for the rear if they can be found. i figured the same that they would have enough market support but its dying fast

B&G, Ksport, and Eibach springs are still the ones floating around. Eibachs have become more scarce in the last few years but i think some online stores still have them. i got my Ksport GT off of Ebay but its a large drop for 3rd gens, oilpan is barely off the ground
best bet is to find some Eibach springs and sell your left nut for a used set of Koni or Tokico struts if they ever pop up

How big of a drop? I found some b&g springs on eBay for about 235 with a 1.6 drop, seems pretty reasonable, I didn't want to go past two inches after reading about how the 3rd gens start scraping after that

looked good and handled really well though

That was an old car i dont own any more. The rear is stock, front is too low. Not very functional for a daily. I'm 35 now, and while being low still looks cool on my 240 that I pretty much only take to the mountains, I dont want to duplicate what I did on that ghetto cruiser pictured above.
Does the b&g brand one ride a little higher than that?

I'd love to drop my car an inch and a half in the front and be done with it.

You can try and find some eibachs which are 1.2" then find a way to jack the back up by an inch. At last that way the handling would be balanced.

A 1.6 inch drop from those b&gs seems reasonable, I must say though my car does seem like its already dropped but I know for sure those shocks are stock. It just seems to look like the same stance as a lot of the maximas I see around here
