will springs be good enough? i need some pics...

sorry for not posting in the suspension section but i see it's mostly fd guys in there and want more responses on this from guys with fc's. but anyway, can anyone please post some pics of their fc's with springs and please specify how much of a drop as well as the brand? i had an eclipse and dropped it 2 inches and loved it. but the stock wheel gap on an fc isn't as much as a stock eclipse so i'm sure that maybe the drop may not need to be as much. the only reason i'd really wanna get coilovers is because it may not be low enough and have to adjust it. but once i have it adjusted to where i want it though, they'll never move again. just wanna make sure springs will do before buying them and not be as low as i want it.

i'm from florida and the roads are pretty flat and no pot holes to worry about etc. like other places in the country. but anyway, i'll be going with 18 inch rims as well incase that helps. here's a pic of an fd that's lowered about as much as what i'm looking for (look at where the fender rest close to the tire. not how low it is to the ground). this is about how low my eclipse was. http://www.issanniracing.com/site_co.../P1010032.html

now just keep in mind that this is for an fc though. anyway, please post as many pics as possible with the best springs to get. otherwise i guess i'll be going with the more expensive coilovers. thanks!

my car sits about 2.5 ish inches off the ground. its tremendously low, and causes alot of problems. I think the last owner had a lowering kit which has become fatigued and lowerd even more. ITs sweet looking, but performance is... side scraping.
