suspension question

I am going to lower my car this spring and was wondering what my best bet is. For now I want to keep the stock wheels, and I really want to set it down on them...any suggestions on what I should get? also, how low is it possible to lower it without it scrubbing (too bad anyway)? what all will I need? thanks

Hey, you're in Birmingham. I love that town, I wish I wasn't stuck here in Montgomery. I'd much rather live up there.

Anyway, I think your best bet for lowering the car and making sure the performance stays is to go with a set of coil overs. If you go with standard springs make sure to get a set of matched dampers. Also be sure to keep an eye on the camber.

I don't know how low you can go, I'm more than pleased with the stock suspension and didn't want to mess with it.
