I have Eibach sportline springs on mine. It's a pretty aggressive drop. They dropped mine aprrox. 2 1/2 inches. Then I put on Tokico shocks & struts and it raised it up about an 1/2 in. I'm in the process of dropping the front down about 1/2 to give it a more aggressive look. Good luck. I recommend Eibach.

I got a Pro Kit from Eibach, dropped the front 1.5" and the back dropped 1.8". Didnt have to worry about CC plates, just make sure you go back for an alignment and re-torque after about 500 miles or so! Good luck, if you wanna see what my 98 looks like then i can e-mail you pics.

I'vew got eibach's on mine and I am gettng a pull to the right. Maybe it just needs to be alligned. My rear is pretty high, but I am going to lower it a little more as soon as I fix my X-pipe.

It varies from car to car.
Of course, I have FMS C-springs...never got an alignmet (car does not pull to one side or the other), however, I will need an alignment anyways cause the inside of the tires are wearing faster than the outside (too much negative camber?).
Steeda springs will drop about 1"...thus no need for c/c plates...
