Which lowering springs best for me?

I just bought an 03 Sedan and dont plan on doing much visually other than lowering it. I have a 6 speed/sport package with the 5 spoke 17's and would like to lower it 2-3 inches. I have heard of people installing coupe springs on the sedans... so does that mean if i install aftermarket coupe springs that they will lower the car more than aftermarket sedan springs?

Just wondering which would lower as much as I want, or maybe all the major brands do and I really have nothing to worry about. Thanks in advance.

aftermarket coupe springs will lower the sedan an extra .5" to what it will lower the coupe and aftermarket 350 springs will lower the sedan an extra inch to what it will lower the 350.

for a 3 inch drop you may want to go coilovers.

To get anything over 2 inch you will need coilovers, and a camber kit for the front and rear. You might also want to get spacers to bring the factory rims out a little also. If you want to do it right

do it right the first time - as VQ Hotness said. If you dont have the money for the whole setup, save up a bit more. In the end patience pays.

I need to drop my car too but only have the funds for springs so am saving up for the camber kit and rear sway bars.

I've got some eibach sportlines laying around in the garage if you are interested that were on my 03 sedan (about a 1.7 drop)

here's what it looked like with sportline's... bit of rake to the front, and lower than the eibach pro's

I just installed Tein S. Tech's on my 03 sedan which has everything your's does. I sold my 17's and went with OEM coupe 18's. The drop is nice, supposed to be around 2.0" in the front, but I think it's a little less. Overall, I'm pleased with the springs though.
