Default Think I'm gettin new springs to lower my car..which ones?

Hey

I want to lower my car next. I have the money to do it and it should make a big difference in looks. Which brand should I go with.

I know Eibachs a big name, and FMS, and Saleen(i think), but I dont know which ones to go with.

I can get the FMS ones for around 150, but are the others better?

I want to get the set that lower is the most for around $200 w/out going much over 2 inches.

What do yall think and will this make a big improvement in my car?

TAHnkls

If you just want to lower your car to drive on the street, for looks mainly go with sport style springs. I have Saleen Racecraft progressive
rates on mine, but most whould not like the harshness in ride on the street. But if looking down the road towards a serious corner carver, you'll need the more aggressive springs as a foundation.

I don't have any complaints about my BBK's they do a good 2" drop. A little on the soft side for what I do though
