Default er Modding help please

I'm getting quite frustrated. I wanna mod my car (cosmetically) with something somewhat dramatic. I wanna lower it about 2 inches.

EVERY car mod I look at is over 400 dollars (if I want any quality)

Is there ANYWAY I can drop my car that far for 200$ or less? I've looked at cheap springs for bout 50$ but I assume they are worthless and then I have to buy shocks also? please help!

If not, is there any other way to make my car stand out for under 200$?

the Tein springs are a great set. they can usually be had for under 200 on Ebay. you dont need shocks, but its never a bad idea to combine the installs. its a lot easier to do it at the same time, instead of doing one, then the other.

You should be able to find several springs or coilover on ebay for less than $200 such as Dropzone springs with shock. Look up Civic dropzone on ebay and you'll know what im talking aobut.

I belive the S-tech springs by Tien will get it close to how low you want it and can easly be had for your price range.

I looked at the springs, sounds like a good idea, but would I definitely need to buy some shocks with it? Because if I do buy shocks, I'm not gonna go with something lame. I've heard the KYB GR-2 shock/strut kit works well, but its a little over 200 bucks. Will it be safe to drive without new shocks? Will It be a bumpy ride?

well it depends on if there is something wrong with ur shocks if there is u just may need to get new ones. and yes it will be bumpy cause i have lowering springs and stuff and it is really bumpy. but if u dont have shocks and it gets bumpy u will hear grinding. or something like ur tire hitting the body i recommend shocks
