lowering springs

i've narrowed it down to either BMR or Hotchkis mainly because they only lower the car an inch and i want to get lt. I've also been looking at the KYB AGXs are they good shocks? any info would be great thanks in advance

i have the eibach lowering springs and kyb gas adjust shocks... they are too soft. i like to hit corners hard and they just seem to give a little too much.do a search on shocks and see what the other options are unless you like a comfortable ride?!?

there is a better way to lower your car and spend less money and get better shocks.

You can run Konis in the front, shich allows you to lower the car about 3/4". In the rear you can run revalved Bilsteins (to save alittle money) or Konis. To lower the rear about 1/2" by removing a spring isolator and replace with a thinner peice of matieral. Like a peice of fuel line, cut out so it will warp around the spring.

You will save money have a better ride with much better shocks. The best part is, you will have the extra cash to buy a 35mm hollow front bar, so you can really rip around those corners.
