they arent the first priority but they are one of the main ones.

Adjustable coilovers would be nice tho becuase then i can change the hight anytime i want.
if i just get springs i have to buy new ones if i want it lower or higher

Just pick a height and be happy with it.

You'd have to go through the hassle of getting an alignment every time you change it anyway.

1.6-2" drop. Closer to the middle of that is best. 2" is a little low... i'm at 1.8" lower than stock in the front and I couldn't imagine trying to drive lower than that. My resonator scrapes on most speed bumps already, even small ones. If I were any lower I wouldn't even be able to drive over one.

Remember that your car will ride a little lower with people in it and over dips in the road then when the car is sitting still with no one in it.

this is lowered with Tein S-Techs. Tein says they drop 1.9" in the front and 1.7" in the back

You would probably like S-techs the best, yea. A comfy ride (correct, sfazngiants?), and a quality brand. If you don't really want springs based on solely performance (stiff) then S-techs are what you want.

well i got good news and bad news

bad- something was wrong with the paper work in order for me to get paid so now i dont get paid for 2 more weeks.

good- i have like 4 checks backed up so ill get paid atleast $600

Hopefully my tires can last that long. i woke up this morning with a flat and i filled it up with air drove it to work and back (20 miles total) and parked it in the garage.

Im starting to grow to these S-techs so maybe when i get paid well see how much i have after tires, cv shaft, filter and allignment.
hopefully i have enough for atlest the 50/50 tails
