Anything lower than Eibach
After a 3-4 hour search, i have not been able to find any springs that will lower my '02 LX any more than Eibachs Pro-Kit (1.4"). I am looking for about a 2" drop, any help? thanks.

i think intraks might make one thats a 2 inch drop, but i dont like the quality of their stuff, but i'd go with coil overs for a lower drop.

Go with coilovers if you want a more aggressive drop. That's really the only correct way to do it. I wouldn't recommend that you cut any of the coils off of your springs.

Yeah Ground controntrol coilovers will give you that kind of drop.

Apex would give you 1.8 if I remember correctly.

Coilovers install the same way as normal springs, except you will put in a threaded collar over the shock.
