And -- $55.00 for a pair of spacers and you are buying junk. Expect AT LEAST 120.00 or so for a pair. Do not skimp on suspension parts. Duh. They are holding your car up.

z1 has them going for $88.

by the time you add up springs+spacers+camber arms it almost equals out to coilovers. so now i'm at cross roads lol is it better to save up another few hundred bucks and get coilovers? i still only want to drop my car an about an inch like stated earlier just to clear the fender gap.

Coil-overs do not eliminate the need for camber arms and spacers are completely optional so your cost calculations are a bit off.

Swift Spec-R -- $350.00 (or so)
Koni Yellow -- $900.00 (or so)

Decent Coli-overs, and I mean decent -- ????

Bilstein are the only coil-overs I would consider and they are $2,100 plus

Bilsteins are not coilover in the rear.
