eBay has a few for around 150


if you change your springs you should change yoru struts because the aftermarket lowering springs (except mopar high rates i have heard) ruin the struts

^^^^^^^^Exactly!!! I would go with Koni's (if you have the dough) and if not then go with the KYB's. I highly reccomend them. I just got mine and also got my Skunk2 springs (both from ebay) and wow!! it looks nice, not too low, and the ride is so much better than I thought it would be. My next purchase for suspension is a full suspension bushing kit, like the one from Modern. Anyway, not trying to steal your thread. Like said above, try ebay.. and go with Koni's or KYB's

the high rates dont exactly give you enough of a drop to ruin the struts

They lowered mine a good 1.5". It might be a tiny more but definatly not too low. I am really happy. Im gonna get some pics up as soon as I get a new camera (drunken night + friends pool = ruined camera)
