HELP! Suspension questions

I have a 2002 SE with recently installed 18" wheels.... the car needs to be lowered.... without spending alot of money I would like to lower the front about 1.5 inches and the back an inch or less.... any suggestions? and springs in particular that would do this?

Thanks!

Get the H&R's from http://www.avalonracing.net/main.htm they might even give you the group buy? Maybe. There still not that much either way. I love mine. There on an 02 and I have no OEM strut issues.

H&Rs don't drop nearly 1.5"s. They are the most conservative drop available.

Personally, I'd recommend Progress Springs. They drop 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. My second choice would be Eibachs.
