2in drop on FC

looking to lower my 88 n/a but all the springs i find only drop the car about 1in or so, i want to lower it at least 2in. this car is my daily driver, not my race car, so i am not interested in buying really expensive coilovers. any recomendations?

They only drop the car 1in. all around. The lowest springs I know of that won't make your car bottom out and scrape like crazy (the intrax springs are too soft to lower your car as much as they do) are the RSR race springs, which supposedly lower your car 1.4" front and 2" rear. You're going to NEED a rear camber adjuster if you install those, though.

on the RSR website it only lists the race springs for the Turbo rx7's, mine is an N/A, am i correct to assume that they will not work on my car?

So get coilovers, up to -2.9f and -2.8r with Tein FLEX.
