1.) What struts would you guys recommend? I've heard Bilsteins and KYB is the way to go
2.) As for springs, I'm thinking Eibach sportlines, since they only drop 1.5" and I don't want to slam my car and end up driving 2mph over dips 3.) After I drop it, I'm going to get spacers so I can make the wheels flush, ya know, to make it sexy  Am I going to need to roll my fenders for the small of a drop?Thanks guys -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

1. yes but you can get adjustabe dampers from koni
2. sportlines must be quite low as i am on prokit and it rubs on the front and rear over big bumps (25 offset 17x7 rims 215/45 tyres) 3. for proper "flush" you will need to roll especially the rear as they have a massive lip on them --------------------  |

KYB's are perfect for Sportlines. It's a very popular setup on 6gc. It's not the lowest drop, but it's very safe. Plus the Sportlines still offer a decent ride. Having to roll your fenders will depend on what wheels you get. I had Sportlines on my car with factory wheels and never had any issues, never came close to anything.

If you have a local car forum, make a topic saying you are looking for a fender rolling tool. People usually rent them out for $50.

adjustable damper basically means you can change the amount of force needed to move them, make them harder or softer
as for rolling fenders in Texas (or even any where in the U.S.) i have no clue unfortunately i've never been -------------------- |

I have 17 or 18 (I forget) x8 wheels, I think that's an inch wider than factory if I'm not mistaken. But they'll be flush with the fenders anyway -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
