why don't you just camber + roll? it'll be cheaper and imo look better.

I was thinking about dropping it since the flares are pricey. Any suggestions on lowering this box?

Good thinking.

Springs?

Look at Tien or Tanabe.

if you can afford coilovers, i'd start there. most people go through a set of springs or two first before they upgrade to coilovers. And flares are only needed if your running crazy wide/low offset wheels.

Drop it and camber/roll. You do not need flares for those wheels, unnecessary.

that depends on what you want. You can spend more and get them that allow adjustments to rebound/ dampening, along with adjustable camber plates up front, or you can spend a couple hundred less and get some that are only height adjustable. K-Sport, D2, Tien, STD, are all good, some so lower than others. Best to do your homework first and find the brand that suits your needs best. I run Progress, tons of drop, no adjustment other than height, less than most others.

If I didn't already spend the money on Konis/DF210s then I would've definitely gone with the Progress kit, great price.

Or search on Craigslist/Ebay until you find the right deal, may take longer though.
