How to drop small?

Hi everyone,

Well, I want to drop my Max, but don't want to go too much. So which good springs have the least drop on a Max? I heard its H&R, but I'm not sure. Is it okay to use Tokico HPs? Otherwise I'll get illuminas. ( I read somewhere here that HPs wear out fast when dropped).
My Max is '95 GLE with stock 15" rims. I won't upgrade them anytime soon. Also, should I get the sway bar first, or save that money for new rims.
I don't care about the looks now, I just want to upgrade my suspension.

Thanks!

Tein H techs probably have the smallest drop, it's only like an inch.

if you don't car about looks, keep your 15" wheels, they'll perform the best. And RSB = holy crap what a difference, well worth it for twice the price.

maxmods.dyndns.org has a huge list of springs and struts, including what is recomended with what.

How can 18z and H Tech rub unless you totally bottom out? It would take alot, an 18" rim with 40 series tire is the same circumfrence as a 16 stock SE wheel with 55 series tires.
