Lowering springs on gr-2's is the cheapest way I'd go. If you stock shocks arn't blown many people have gotten by with stock shocks and eibachs. I ran stock shocks for quite awile (5k miles) without a problem.
i had eibachs and stock shocks on my 91 and it worked pretty well. a lil bouncy but it made the car look so much better and help out with the cornering.
yeaa nice thats what ill do then.. whats the lowest i can go before it starts rubbing or something.. i was thinking maybe 1.5" or so..i just got upgraded 16in wheels with 245/50/16 tires in rear and 225/50/16 front..a little of topic but the car is also maroon and i want it black.. its all sanded im gonna repaint it a better redish maroon or black.. but then comes into play all the door jams and stuff.. what do you think..Ckanderson said:
Well if you want slammed, H&R is the way to go. I dont like them because they kill suspention travel, make it hard to get in and out driveways, and ruin the look (IMHO). I sell them but warn every person that orders from me that I dont suggest them.
I still prefer eibach.

Depending on what rims you use you might never rub. Springs usually never get low enough to have rubbing problems unless the offsets are too low.
