I'm going to lower my car finally =)
What are some good springs/shocks to get that won't drop my car, but just a clean lowering?
I'm planning on getting nismo aero parts so, Can't have it too low.  Are Eibachs any good?
The sport-line kit lowers 1.7 in the front and 1.4 in the back, I'm guessing that's too low to have a kit with that.  I'm going to scratch everywhere.
The pro-line lowers 1.2 in the front and 1 in the back, but I don't want it to be like super high off the ground still.

The perfect solution I know is coilovers, but not sure if I have that much money right now.

TOKICO!!

1" drop all around, nice and stiff. Looks quite natural on them, drives GREAT!

I say AGX w/ HKS Supersports. I love 'em and the car looks the way it should have from the factory. Good stiff ride too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I would go with tokico blues based on past experience the regular KYB (silver ones) are not good if the car is lowered more than 2" if you were going that low

Well.. if your only looking ta drop yer ride around 1" u can prolly jus stick wid ur stock shocks or maby even go wid sum KYB-GR2's theyre relatively cheap and slightly better then stock. If you go anything more then that id suggest tokico blue shocks, you dont have the spend all the money to buy the ajustable shocks espcially if your not going any lower then 2". I've had tokico blue shocks with a 2" drop on sprints for more then 6 months now and the ride is nice and smooth, no problems so far (knock on wood) &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
