i am planning on the zx2 conversion for my 92 gs...was planning on going with the eibach lowering springs...when i order them, do i just get the ones designed for the mx-3 or is there a different set for the zx2's? sorry if it has been asked before but couldnt find the answer...also the second question...if i go with this setup, will my combat front bumper be too low? i dont want it dragging on the ground or bottoming out all the time...anyone have this suspension w/ the combat front end? how is the ride? any help would be apreciated. :shock:

suspension techniques are good, and eibachs are apparently quite good on these struts as well.... beyond that if you have a bit of extra cash
the ground control coilovers do wonders with these struts.

ps. ground controls come with eibach springs.
