Nice!
The person I bought the car from lowered it with Skunk2, which is a 2" drop.
I'm about to order so Eibach, so the car is raised up a 1".
2" looks nice, but is way to much for me.

Well I'm not a 100% sure if they're Skunk2, but he said the drop was 2" and that is the how much they do.
I can give him a text in the morning and ask what brand springs they are.

Keep in mind if they are the Skunks they tend to settle a bit over 2'... With that much of a drop you may also want to consider driveshaft spacers along with a bumpsteer kit.... Will end up costing a bit more than just the springs.

My $.02 - either buy coilovers, or keep your stock springs on your stock shocks.

Seems like springs alone often provide a really harsh ride, accelerated shock wear/failure, and often worse handling. Springs on stock shocks represent form over function IMO.

Konis w/ Ground Control coilovers work well, have custom spring rate options, and are reasonably priced.

Another good choice is to just go with a good quality high-end shock. You can get better control (compression and rebound dampening), a *slightly* stiffer ride (depending on settings used), and you don't have to worry about scraping every driveway.

Some threaded-body shocks will also allow you to adjust your ride height slightly, as well. Though you would want to be careful with that, since you don't want to damage the shock by bottoming it out and may also need to do some trimming of the bump stops.
