A friend of mine is selling his for $50 used. But its a 2 inch drop might be too much of a drop for 16's?? I think they are R1 springs he said. Should I go for it and throw the rest towards a skunk 2 camber kit?

I have Sprint springs, 2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the back. I don't really have much of a complaint about them, but they'd be better if I had a nice set of Tokicos instead of the stock struts. Sprints are pretty cheap too.

2.5 seems like alot, but it didnt appear to be on my ol 93 coupe. So if I go with the 2 inch drop and have 205 40 16 tires you think i should have clearence between the tip of the fender to tire. I want somewhat of a gap, not alot. BTW im keeping my stock struts for now, I just dont have the cash to go all out, plus it will give me something to work on later.

My drop sits right on top of my tires and I have 205-40-17's. I'm not sure what difference 16's would make, but maybe someone else in here could answer that for you. I would think that you'd have a little room on top of the tire, but probably not much. Could be wrong though.
