Default lowering my ES

ok guys...with in the next couple of months I a looking at lowering my car. By this time I wont have new rims and I will probably keep my stock rims on there for a little bit but does anyone know what I would need to replace? Would a coilover kit work fine or would I need something else... Would this put a lot of stress on the factory suspension if I drop it 1.5' or 2'? Also where would be a good site to find a coilover kit for a good price? thanx a lot!

What year do you have? I don't think there are currently coilovers available for 92-96, but they're might be for 97 to 01.

For the 92-96's, you'd want to change the springs and struts. I've got B&G's, 1.6" drop; I think Intrax has some that will drop 1.75", it might be Sprint that's 1.8", not sure. You'll need to find out if you're struts are sealed or non-sealed, if they're non-sealed you can use strut inserts like the Tokico's I'm using.

I got my suspension stuff from www.shox.com, good service and prices.
