Quick suspension question

[95Dsm13]

I've been pondering getting coil over sleeves or lowering springs. Sorry, i know this has probably been posted numerous times. It's just my daily driver, with the casual cruise in show. Im just looking for a level ride height and a good tight Suspension and a good "stance". But the only springs ive seen so far are 1.3-1.7 but is this a good drop from stock height i believe i have. Unsure how high the oem height was. I do know i have a decent wheel gap in be front and not so in the rear. Sorry for the post. I just don't wanna spend money and have it be the same...

1.5" lowering spend will do you good. Eiback pro kit is nice. Any lower could cause fitment issues with certain sizes. lowering springs are cheapest way but you'll need buy shocks meant for a.lowered car as oem replacements usually don't last too long on a lowered car.

Thanks! I was looking at dsmgraveyards listing for 1.7. My car came with kyb adjustable shocks, so im good there. But if i could find a good 1.5 or is a 1.3 the same...i confused myself

Stock suspension/ride height.

Tokico -1.75" Lowering Springs. Rims are bigger here, but overall wheel diameter is the same as stock.

1.75 may not seem like much at all, but it means a lot with suspension. Around 1.75-2" is the absolute lowest as you'd want with a true daily driver. And like MJ said, you can run into fitment issues easily lowering that much.

I wouldn't got any lower than 2 cause of the issues, definitely thanks for the help! Ill shop around for a good kit some more. The way my height is just makes my rims look small and awkward but they're 17's. i tried to upload a photo of my car but it keeps failing.

KYB is an OEM shock. Not a big deal, but they will probably wear out soon after lowering. Only shocks like the Koni Yellow are made to handle lowering.

What are you confused about? The 1.7, 1.5, or 1.3 is inches of difference from stock ride height. A 1.5" lowering spring means the car should sit 1.5" lower. However, it's not always completely correct so research before buying.

Oh, I had no idea they were an oem like shock. But I also did not see the first picture with black oem rims. That's what my height is. But thanks for cleaning it all up. Glad i asked before i jumped into buying anything.

I'd suggest reading vendor reviews before purchasing anything from dsmgraveyard.
Also tein or eibach 1.5" lower springs should give you the look your going for.

Don't forget about a camber kit. It will be worth the money spent.
