    if you are just looking for lowering springs... just find the ones that have the drop you want.
    you can get anything from .5'' to 2.5''
    So just look at what there is out there.

    thank you for the feedback. but will the stock struts hold up against all springs? i'm leaning towards the tein s-tech because roadrace's website says that they are the best if you are planning on keeping the stock struts, that in which I am doing. I care more about the ride quality than the height, although I am getting springs because with my rims there is a huge gap in the front, the rear isnt so bad, so I might end up putting springs just in the front for now. we'll see though.

    they are good springs if you dont care about the distance you drop.
    me... I want to drop about two... which will give me a little more bumpy ride!
    So if you want smooth then they would be a good bet!

    I think the stock struts are good up to about a 2" drop. anything more will cause them to fade quicker. As for putting springs on just the front, kinda dangerous to do. Lowering springs usually have a higher spring rate, and will cause the car to handle weird if you change just the front or just the rear.
