Just get Ground control Coilover sleeves. They use Eibach springs, and you can adjust the hieght accordingly. Remember, you have to get an alignment everytime you change the settings. To combat camber, you can get front camber plates and rear camber bolts, but as previously mentioned they can only fix so much.

Right now I'm running stock shocks, and Tien springs. I'm not slammed, but it's lowered enough to close the stock gap. I plan on getting coilovers soon though.

This is where your eyeballs come in handy. Get adjustable suspension and then adjust it until you're happy. Done.

YES!!! My first quote in someones sig!! I laughed pretty hard when I seen that.

1'' drop from stock should be good enough. Any lower and its gonna look retarded on a stock body. Your making a dd not a show car. If you slammed it to the ground, a pebble would set you off course.

I have 17's also, running the GP Sport body kit. It is dropped just 1 inch and that low enough for me, you need to concider when going to get gas, some gas stations have these insane sidewalk ramps lol. I tend to scrape the front alot, I also have to park *** first if not, bye bye front, just my 2 cents

I usually set the height of my car at 25 inches from the ground to each fender arch at the top of the wheel. It's lower now, but I haven't had the time to raise it.

A note on rear camber adjusters. The tiny price difference between the GC one and the one that Flatout sells is so small that I don't know why anyone would bother to use one that's not on-car adjustable. It'll take longer to adjust the cheaper ones, so it'll either take up more of your time, or cost you more for an alignment because it'll take more of their time.

On car adjustable or not at all!

^Werd.

It's so much easier to adjust the GC camber link. It's even easier to install. All you need is 2 wrenches to adjust it.
