Desperately needing to lower his ride!

Jer_ry · May 23rd, 2005, 12:18 AM

I have been reading around on lowering springs and coilovers it seems to me that to get anything decent i will have to dish out about $600-$1200 is that correct? I see everyone saying upgrading their suspension i don;t want to upgrade it i just want to lower the thing! With these 17" wheels it sits so high. I just want to lower it between 1.5-2.0 in all the way around I THINK. What is the least exspensive method? i don't care if it's bouncing i just DON'T want it to be dangerous or cause damage to my car due to soft springs. Thanks! I'll add a pic tomorrow to see what you guys think would be a good height to lower since i have no idea what a 1" drop does.

he wants to lower his car, seems like he doesnt care about the performance aspect... hyperco probably wont give him the drop he wants.

tein s tech or sportlines sounds like what you want. just make sure you upgrade your struts as well.

alright i think i got an idea what i want. Here is some pics . It dosent really show the huge gap i have under tha car but maybe ya'll can tell me what would be a good distance to lower it.

Notice the distance on the rear bumper from the ground so i was thinking the same amount of lowering to the front and the back since the back is already alittle higher than the front.

If you want to lower your car like mine.....buy some tein coilovers

So i guess my original question was just answered it would cost about $1000 just to lower your car 2". Tien's = $700 Struts = $350. I don't think i will be doing that anytime soon! Thanks for all the info!
