So im currently looking to buy some lowering springs for my ep3..I was looking to chose either the skunk2 lowering springs with a 2-2.5 drop or some Tein H.Tech Lowering springs with a 1 inch drop..Any suggestions or other recommendations?

if your just going to lower it on stock shocks they will blow very very quickly. BOTOH what drop are you looking for?

not looking for a look so much as trying to make the tire gap smaller..i didnt know i had to get new shocks when replacing springs.. should i just get coilovers instead?

Many choose coilovers for the ease of having one full piece to install. I wouldn't drop the car 2-2.5 inches if you just want to decrease the gap, it's gonna fuck your handling completely without a LOT of supporting modification. Moderate drops are more manageable for a DD.

ok..i'll prolly just go with coilovers then..probably the raceland coilovers..they're not to pricey..thanks

ill go with front and rear camber kits just to be on the safe side. for the front you can get a camber bolt or a camber plate.
