I'm looking to lower my GS-R 1/2" to 1" to reduce the fender gap. I also need new shocks, so would the best choice be to keep the stock springs and get a set of Koni Yellows?

Also, should I get the regular Koni Yellows or the Neuspeed version?

A link to a cheap/reliable online retailer would be appreciated as well.

Anyone know of a cheap and reliable online retailer that sells the Neuspeed/Koni shocks?

here is my car, ITR springs on KYB AGX.

 

I have been search for site as well, but most sites prices is at least $600 for the shocks and springs.

 

600 is not a bad price for shocks and springs.

 

Actually you should not run shortened shocks with stock springs. That will put too much preload on the springs--essentially you will be riding around with the springs pushed in more than they should be. Shortened shocks are made to work with shortened (i.e. lowering) springs.

What choice of lowering spring you make is up to you--I'd say pick the drop you want and go with it. Keep in mind that the lower you go, the more of a need for a camber kit you will have. I don't know what 1/2-1" is (that's what you put in your original post) but it's not any number I recognize.

The cheapest place I've seen Neuspeed Konis go for is at tornactive.com where they are $510 for the set.

 

Well, I had H&R Sport Springs on the car, which were advertised as a 1.75" drop in front and 1.5" drop in rear, and they caused rubbing with my 205/45-16 tires. It was also annoying to drive around the city like that, constantly needing to slow to a crawl over bumps.

So if I drop the car again, I want it no lower than a 1.25" drop in the front and rear.
