    I bought my h&r cup kit used but new its around the price range you are looking at. Lowers the car a decent amount but not enough to put the oil pan in a lot of danger. I took it on the X bronx and many city roads and never even felt worried.

        The h&r cup kit is one of the lowest main stream kits you can buy. I want to say its even lower then the eibach prokits.

          Used Bilstein Sports and IE3 would be a good fit IMO at that budget. It's not slammed. Will have a little wheel gap. It feels nice and handles as well. Could be a good fit for you.

              HR Cup is tucking tire in the rear on an early model. That's pretty damn low for springs.
              The first car I ever rode in was an e30
