    oh ok cool. yeah if you ask dumb questions, you will get a lot of criticism, and get called dumbass.... so if you are cool about it then it's all good.

    a lot of people get hurt over what's said on the internet.

    depending on how much you want to drop your car.
    i'd say go with H&R or Comptech springs if you want some nice drop for a little price. there around 1.5" drop. if you have money, then go with mugen SS or Aspec suspension or coilovers.
    i'm currently on tein s-tech (1.5" front 1.7" back) and this is what it looks like

    i took my mud flaps off, def look cleaner.
    as for springs, go on crsx.. usually you can find cheap ones from other members.. if not go with H&R there like 150 .. or megan ones.. or go with progressive(my favorite) there around 170 brand new.
