I don't think there are any springs that go down to 2". The lowest one I believe are from Tanabe, which the drop the car about 1.8". Don't know much about shocks, maybe someone else can chime in on that

yeah 1.8 was wat i was talkin about...i now know that shocks are in the back and struts are in the front...but is the price that they show on l-tuned..for 4 which includes front and back? 1.8 drop would be good enough with 19's...anyone disagree? thanks

Go with Teins CS especially if you want to keep OEM ride. These can be lowered quite a bit. They are not that difficult to install yourself as they already come pre-assembled. I thought the front were much easier than the rear to install. Plan on approximately 1 hour per wheel.

Sprint make springs that will give you a 2" drop, and from what i know they are pretty good springs. I know a few people with springs on cars other than the GS and they love them, i havent had much luck getting feedback from GS owners on those springs, I was going to give them a shot and mate them with my KYB set up, but ended up changing my mind and picking up Tein cs pretty much because of the hype, nothing great about them at all. If you are trying to stay low budget, id say go with either the tanabe or sprint springs with the struts of your choice. If you care about the fact that you can say you got $1200 coilovers on your car and got the funds to spend go for it, I kinda regret getting the Teins, nothing that great about them!
