I got a set of used springs last year, rumor has it they are Eibachs,
dropped about 1.25 in the front and .75 (") in the rear.  Certainly the
car needed a little lowering (mostly for looks though).  I would think
much more would not be good, esp. here in new england.  As it is my oil
change pan won't fit, I can;t drive onto my ramps anymore, and I have to
keep a close eye out for speed bumps and parking lot to street height
changes.

But hey, fashion is supposed to hurt, right?
