springs? coilovers? oh my

Hey guys, I read the FAQ about the springs, but I would like an opinion as to which springs/ coilovers to get for the 94 protege. H&R springs look promising at 279. A friend of mine got aerospeed coilovers for his mx-6 but i've heard they suck. I want to go with eibach springs but I want something more than 1" drop. And ground control coilovers just cost too much. I also found B&G springs with 1.4" drop for 179. Intrax makes some with a 1.7" drop for 201.95. I would like to know what the 'go to' brand is, or which one is the best.

Thanks a lot,

Dusty

want cheap coilovers go for the DROPZONE's sold on ebay. But u can get a 2/2 drop for $135+shipping. goto www.impactparts.com

they are the sprint springs. Pretty low drop, looks really good thou. if u want a higher ride, ull pay a lil bit more. If you could get some springs for bout $170-189 thats a good price. IMO. But Coilovers and Drop springs wear out your struts quicker then stock. You could replace them with the ZX2 Struts. www.oemfordparts.com they run $160+ shipping.
