Ghetto lowering 4k?

    I don't know much about the different shocks for the car, but I did some
research on the springs.  Eibachs are the only ones that offer a slight
lowering with a Rake.  You can get a 1 inch drop for the fronts and a 3/4
inch drop for the rear.  When I was looking no one else offered anything
with less then a 1.5 inch drop and the only way to get a rake was to use two
different brands front and rear.  Personally I really like the raked look on
my 4k, but I used $5 spring compressors to bring my front down to match my
sagging rear... and it leveled the car too.
