Any kit will look good. The least amount of lowering springs out there are usually 1". They can go from 1.3" to 2" after that. I would consider the Prokit or Sportlines.

Compromise- 1.5"

It could use a lower stance, in my opinion. It's sitting a little high.

1.5 would be too much around here, an inch is the most I'd do as far as speedbumps, driveways, etc.

I would put ground effects on it, they make it look alot lower and you don't have to go through the inconvience of having a lowered car.

Go with Eibach Prokits, they're a 1" drop, maybe a bit more in front.

Oh, sorry bout that, its hard to tell from the original pic. Is there a front spoiler on there too? If not you should put one on.

You should try the Edlebrock Eibach Sportline springs. They are stiffer than the stock, but they are prgressively wound so normal driving comfort is maintained.

The Sportlines give too much of a drop though. Go with the Pro-Kits.

And what's this Edelbrock crap?

The sportlines only drop it 1.5 inches in the rear and 1.75 in the front.

Eldelbrock uses Eibach springs. When you buy an Edelbrock spring kit your actually buying Eibach springs.

2"

And this is right after changing the springs. They have dropped a little bit more, but they are almost there. Great springs.

well, you could also get 91-92 ground effects, that would make it look lower, since them ground effects are not as low.

That or I would say, 2" if your not running super low exhaust, if you are (like me) then no more than 1" if any.

I loke lowered 3rd gens a lot, however, I run true dual with an X pipe and if I lower the car at all from stock height, I will scrape just driving down a flat road. My car sits great to me, it's got the 91 ground effects, 17" ROH wheels with the 45 series tires. I like it, however, if I did not run this exhaust set up, I would go 2" no doubt.

You do good with 2" with them ground effects...
