or just r-compound tires. stiff springs without the shocks to support them would suck IMO.

I like a little more drop in the rear. Otherwise the front is raked down. It's not tipped backwards, it's flat. I'd go HKS - good rates, good drop, good company.

Posting this here so people that are trying to search can find it easier.
Also Posted in the "poll" about which suspension to do.

Got this done today in the morning and Im really liking it. Wasn't too low and seems good for daily driving.
Feels like stock and handles better. Feels like there is less bounce as well. Looks better as well. Took it over some speed bumps and into my drive way but only the rubbers under the car touched. Springs shouldn't get lower cause they are used. Or maybe?

Here are some pictures.

I'm so torn between HKS and Espilir.

I like a tad more drop in the rear... Hmm

The drop is about a finger gap front and back. I really like the ride on stock struts. I dont scratch or rub. I think it was a great choice. You wont be disappointed.
