I have a 2001 protege es 2.0 and I want to lower it about 2". I am not going for speed, just looks. Which would be the best way to go, and which brand is the best to go with? I am kindof new to all this and I need all the help I can get.

Thanks!

Goldline springs have a 2" drop all around. since you guys rarely see snowstorms you should be good =)

Are Ground Controlls a brand? I think it would be sweet to have a 3" drop. I haven't really got a direct answer thought. I think ya'll are saying springs but maybe i'm wrong! HELP!

as for now I'd say I am at a 2.5" drop, though the Teins are capable of going lower in the front it just doesn't look right.

and yes Ground Control is a brand, its a threaded sleeve slip-on coilover for stock or aftermarket shocks. I would not recomend them due to the fact that if you were to buy them and new struts then the cost is getting close to a full coilover setup that is designed to work together. just save up a little longer and get the who shebang... its worth it.
