Default Spring/Strut Combo?

I currently have Neuspeed sport springs 1.75" drop for the front 1.5" drop in the rear. I like the way it rides I believe they are progressive springs. Well my driver side has a lean to it about a 1/2 - 3/4" difference being lower than the passenger side. I think the springs just settle that way from the driver and gas tank being on that side. I have stock struts and I was thinking of what my next route to take would be. I looked at Tein and well the prices are up there. I cant afford the best nor do I need the best just looking for the agressive feel on the daily driver and hopefully future track car.

Nah, the weight of the gas and the gas tank ain't gonna matter that much, if any at all.

^ yes, the stock struts do go bad after a while, especially after 132k miles, manufactures "suggest" changing struts every 50k miles, so at 132k, thats definitely a lot, plus lowering springs even put them to more stress.

maybe check out this deal, this is a nice price anyways.
