    alright i've been through most of the posts regarding lowering springs
    and coilovers and i'm still undecided. i have a 94 accord and will
    soon be putting on tenzo passion 5 in gun metal 17" (i wanted 18s but
    then again i also wanted a job for the summer) any way yes i want to
    slam it and yes i know i would have to change the cambers for a more
    than 2" drop, but i want to get really close to 2", so my big question
    here is... can i get away with getting relatively cheap coilovers like
    aerospeed, tenzo, matrix etc. or should i go with lowering springs
    that run the amount. i'm looking to spend no more than $225. i know i
    should save and get some tein "real" coilovers but i wont have that
    kind of money for a long time. if anybody can help me out with some
    good advice. i really wanted coilovers cause they adjust but i have a
    feeling i want be messing with the height much once its set were i
    want it so should i just get some lowering springs for the same price.
    thanks

    follow up... i found some nice eibach and gold-line lowering springs
    that will drop my car close to 2" or past 2" for the gold-line. i know
    eibach is great but any experience with the gold-line ?

    I heard good things about goldline. Dont have experience with them
    myself.

    Here's food for thought: If you get coilovers, start saving up for
    aftermarket shocks because eventually, the stocks will blow out due to the
    lowering and stiffer rates of coilovers. Lowering springs match up to
    stock shocks much better.
