which lowering springs should I get with 18s?

Which lowering springs should I get for my 95 gs with 18s on it? Everything is stock aside from the rims, so would I need new shocks too?

You technically don't need new shocks to install lowering springs. I would recommend putting in aftermarket shocks though but thats up to you and your budget. I have Tokico Illumina struts with tokico springs. I bought them on ebay for $550 shipped. They dropped my car 1 1/2 inches. I think they are amazing and have not had any problems with them at all. I also have 18's and I think they look great. Perfect drop in my opinion.

I have AGX adjustable struts with Eibach Sportlines 2'' drop and Rox racing 18'' rims. rides very well

I'm thinking of buying these. I don't know if 2" will lower it too much to the point it'll be touching the tires because I have 18s.

I would not get ebay springs, coilovers etc. I have been in cars that have ebay coilovers and the ride quality is poop, If you are strictly going for looks, then maybe, however if your looking to get an ounce of increased handling, ebay springs/ coilovers are not the route to go. IMO

+1 ^ I also have the Tokico Illumina shock/spring combo on both my DSM's. One is on 18" wheels (TSi), the other on 17"s (RS).....pics in profile, perfect drop.
