Good lowering springs?

Anyone know of any good lowering springs that will drop NO MORE than 1.5"? I really would like to drop about 1", but 1.5" is okay too. Also, approx. how much do they cost?

Neuspeed sports are really good. They drop about 1.5" maybe a little more after settling. They usually run 150-160 for a set. Suspension Techniques also are really good but they drop about 2" and they go for about 120. hope that helps.
Prokit drops you only 1.5. I would go with those if you only want a small drop.
Neuspeed sports are 1.7" front and 1.5" rear. Probably a little to much for what he is looking for.

The Pro-kits may be more of what you want.
EDIT:

Prokits drop you about 1.3, not 1.5 as I said before.

Sorry.
Thanks for the info guys. By the way, I just looked it up and it says that the prokit springs lower 1.5 front and 1.3 rear. Anyone happen to know if I would need a camber kit if I lowered that much?
I would say no. I use the general rule of if you go 2 or more inches lower then you need a camber kit. It is actually a little less. I was down 1.7 inches and I needed a camber kit. I wore through the inside of my tires slightly faster than the outside. I could get away with it though. With prokits you most likely won't need a camber kit. The only way to know for sure though is to have your alignment checked.

id get neuspeed or H&R sports

word
Eibach, H&R, and Suspension Techniques all make good springs that lower the amount youre looking for. H&Rs usually are the stiffest, and then Eibachs and ST springs are usually a bit softer. Figure out what you need and go for it.
Eibach Prokits...both Neuspeed and H&R both have springs that lower less than the Prokits though...I think Neuspeed's are called the SofSports and H&R's are called the OE Sports...about a .75 inch drop I think...prolly a little bit more after settling.
I have found that eibach pro kits on preludes do not lower 1.4 inches...they lower more like 1.8 inches...everyone who has them looks like they are slammed....I think eibach is a poor manufacturer of springs....they tend to sag way way below what they claim.

You seem to have bad luck with your springs.
get eibach pro kits. 1.5 inches handle great, work with stock shocks, no need for camber kit. you can find em for like 150...i think modacar.com has them on clearance so go check it out.

Every single eibach lowering i have seen has looked perfect. Especially the pro-kits. i haven't heard of anyone complaining about their prokit being too low, many of them say it isn't enough and then they go after the sportline kit or ground control kit. I love my sportlines. about 1.8 inch drop maybe 2 and it's just a little stiffer feeling than stock, but boy does it handle well.

Wow, that's a damn good deal! I'm seriously thinking about getting those. Will I have to get aftermarket shocks too if I get the neuspeed sports or will my stock shocks be okay?
