I just got a 92dx in march for my first car and i am thinking about lowering it. Does anybody have any sugestions on what kind of struts and springs i should get? the most i would want to lower it is 2 1/2in. ones that will lower it while keeping the ride smooth. Im new to this so sorry if this seems like a noob question. thanks for any replies.

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

You should get a camber kit if you lower the car. It should be a quality kit, such as SPC or Ingalls (the ONLY brands I would trust.) There are kits out there that are 1/3 the price, or less, that are very likely to break. I made that mistake myself, and nearly crashed at 65mph in the left lane of a 3 lane highway, at rush hour.

A 2" drop is enough to warrant a camber kit. You WILL get camber wear with that drop, but it won't be as noticeable as it would be if you were "slammed" (which is terrible for handling anyway!) A camber kit is still recommended, but as long as you're mindful of the inside edges of your tires, you would be safe for a good while with just a good toe alignment. Just be aware that once the inside edges are worn, the tires are done... regardless of how much tread is left in the middle!

There's a few camber kits, some adjust a little, some alot. The only way to know what you need is to get an alignment. Then you buy what suits your need. Unless you find someone with the exact parts you are using then your only insight is the alignment.
You then install the kit to fix your camber and get it aligned again. This is the correct way to do things.
