Inexpensive suspension Q

What is a good inexpensive suspension set-up? Don't want a harsh ride and want a moderate 1 inch drop. Thanks. Maybe simple KYB's with Eibach's? Thanks.

Don't get Eibachs if you want to go inexpensive... they're VERY overpriced. I'd say Tein S-Techs (~1.2-1.5" drop) and some KYB GR2s would be right in your price range if you shop from Ebay.

Thanks. Are the Teins linear or progressive? Any idea of the spring rates compared to stock? The car in question is a 95 EX Coupe in case I didn't mention it. Thanks again.

I found the spring rates already. Does it require a camber kit? Thanks.

Shouldn't need camber kits for that small of a drop.

RE: Inexpensive suspension Q

yeah, with an inch or so, it will give just a bit of negative camber, so it will help cornering too. and it shouldnt be enough to wear the tires too bad.
