I have a 2000 zx3 and hating how high it is, I want to get sport suspension springs which will drop it about 1.5". I do live in Colorado where snow tends to fall as well as speed bumps and pretty big curbs ( as where water flows at intersections but dont know name). And I was wondering if i will have problems with driving slow or scrapping the bottom of my car will accure? Thanks, any comments will help

The perfect setup you are looking for is the eibach pro kit.
Lowers the car 1.5-1.8", and is great for daily driving.
Gets rid of the ugly wheel gap, handles incredibly well,
and I've driven my car in 2 winters w/ the pro kit and it does perfect.
Just make sure you have a good set of snow tires for winter and you'll do fine.

We get along fine with our Eibach pro-system (springs and shocks) an have taken the car numerous times into the mountains during winter without problems. I do suggest dedicated snow tires.

the frpp kit is just as good from b16. a lot cheaper too.

i have eibach springs etc. they are nice and stiff but they creak and kill all ride quality

if you didnt want to go that low, the svt kit is perfect .75" drop, you still get a nice smooth ride, and for around $300 its a good deal

the springs for the 1.5" drop would be cheaper, about 220

See here's the kicker though. Whenever you lower your car you want to get shocks that match. Even with the SVT springs your stock shocks will wear out quite quickly especially if they have never been replaced during the life of the car. The Eibach pro-kit which includes those springs you like (1.5" drop) comes with shocks to match and is around 500 bucks give or take a little. The SVT suspension (comes with springs, shocks, and a rear swaybar to boot; .75" drop) is 300 bucks. Gives an awesome handling upgrade and is much cheaper.

Bottom line though is you always want to get shocks that match the springs or you will be replacing them soon down the road anyways. Do it right and do it once. You will be much happier and the suspension will work for you better as well.
