    Tokico has a full kit that goes for ~$300. It's all over Ebay.

    If that's too much $$, I think the Eibach Pro-Kits are soft enough to use on stock shocks. I think Neuspeed has a super-mild spring available also.

      the eibach pro-kit is 1.2", and honestly, its really doesnt look much lower than stock (probably because it isnt). i have them on stock shocks, and they feel pretty good. havent really had them long enough to notice camber wear, but it shouldnt be that bad with such a mild drop.

      roads are pretty bad around me too, i would say keep it 1.5" or less... aka, a pro-kit

          Neuspeed's sportline springs are really good. they get rid of that fender well gap and give you good performance without the all out race drop and feel, I just got my KYB AGX shocks but have'nt installed them yet, they should make a big difference because i been ridin on busted stock shocks, but neuspeed's will do you right

              im thinking about doin the same thing to lower my car to an inch as well.
              I've looked at KYBs and I hear they're good if you have the money.
              I'm thinking of using that in combination with Eibach Springs, and I think the other main vital part of the car people tend to forget are the sway bars, if you want the car to totally handle to your liking tighten the suspension using sway bars and strut bars makes the car handle corners alot better..this is what I'm gonna accomplish with mine hopefully..I like goin fast alot but personally I prefer handling over performance.

                  ride comfort shouldn't be a concern even with a large drop if you do it right I have neuspeed race's with tokico illuminas set on 3 and the ride comfort is close if not better than stock, except when I hit big bumps in which it's stiff (which it's supposed to be, i don't think people want a floaty feel). And I live where the roads are just about the most ghetto in the entire state...potholes and dips everywhere.

                    I just drove my car home from the shop in Tampa , these new shocks are pretty nice, The KYB AGX is a nice combo with the neuspeed sportline spring, you wont be slammed and the performance is awesome...hope this helps

                      Jerizzle, heh. scranton pa. i live right next door in wilkes-barre. we both know the sotry on our roads, and just to let ya know they havent gotten any better.

                      i plan on getting eibach pro-kits. and possibly something like gr-2s or agks. not sure which one but ive great things on both.
