Default Which Springs for DD?

Hey I'm 19 and just bought my first car! Its an 03 Touring Silverstone. Love it. I am wanting to lower it but not have to worry about front camber issues. I am considering the tanabe gf210's and the eibach sportlines. I love the drop of the sportlines but I dont want to scrape on everything or have to modify my front end (camber,A arm, etc.) Will the tanabe gf's give me a noticeable drop? My car has 90,000 miles so I am going to replace the shocks with Tokico Blues. Thank you so much for any advice I really appreciate it!

Have had the GF210s for about 3 months. No complaints. Love 'em.

I would be worried about your rear camber, not your front... you will probably be looking at a -3.0 rear camber after a decent drop... then tires wearing out faster than you can afford.

Thank you all so much for the help! I really appreciate it. The BC's are out of my price range. I guess gf210's it is! I will pair them with Tokico Blues. Do I HAVE to get rear camber arms or will the wear be minimal? Also do I just tell the shop to do the rear mount mod or what? ha like what do I tell them to do

I took mine to a mechanic and didn't tell them anything. And their on. Nothing you should have to tell them.
