Sportlines are crap.

The Tein's were a good choice, as well as the Eibach Pro-kit, and Susp. Tech. and the Tanabe springs that Speed Techniques posted look promising.

You don't need springs that "slam" your car to drift. Except for maybe Koni's there aren't any other street shocks that i know of that can handle a 2" + drop. Yes, ride height is important in drifting, but since your'e just starting out you can save up the money in the future, to get a good set of coilovers. For now your'e doing just fine. Replacing high-wear parts and upgrading your tires is the first step towards better handling. So if you haven't yet, get some good performance tires, replace your t/c rods, upgrade bushings, get swaybar/strutbars and make sure your steering rack is in good shape if you intend to start drifting. I'm sure there's more that i haven't mentioned. Anyway, nice ride!



P.S. I think your black rims are hella tyte :D How much did you pay for the bomex lip? It's phenomonal!
