Default Lowering Spring

I was wondering if anyone knows what set of springs i could use on my 97 es300 which lowers my car the most. I took the add on kit off and decided to make car much lower instead.

also here is some of my pic with sports springs which lower 1.6F and 1.4 rear.. to give u an idea.....

the reason i did not get the racing springs cuz i m worry about the camber problem.. (which kill my tires)....

if that is not your concern.. go with race and you wont regard..

where do u live..?

here is the site for KG/MM

wow i haven't posted in a while...

hey ik, like the car... it sorta looks like it's already been lowered from that angle... has it?

i've also been thinking about lowering my ES. it's a '93, so the shocks, struts, etc. are all pretty old. i'm thinking of just lowering maybe 1.5" all around. not too much, but enough to increase my turning traction a bit. i was thinking of getting the Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs. what do you guys think?

Yeah my car is currently lowered front and back using H&R springs, and i think that lowers the car by only 1". Currently i took the kit off the car, so i can paint the car to mono black instead of having two tones. Also i am thinking of getting cold air intake in my car by removing the air box, the by pass water bottle? front of left fron wheel. I will let you guys know how it goes. Finally thank you guys a lot for the advice.

p.s. I live in PA. Also the kit is for sale check it out in the classified add. I think i might lower the price i posted there just send me an e-mail about it if you are interested.
