if you just want to lower the car, cut the springs or get air bags.

does performance and the added control from an aftermarket spring kit mean anything to you??

I didn't say I wanted it on the ground.....I said the lowest with out camber problems. I would never cut the springs on a car, nor would I put bags on a car. No lower than 1.5". I purchased 18's yesterday, and I want to get rid of some of the gap.


I wanted the opinion of some one with a 1.5" drop or less, not a stupid comment about cutting springs....waste of a post.

I went with the HKS springs, but that only lowered it about an inch. My alaignment shop had no problems since we've already got camber adjustments on there to a degree. In fact, he was really impressed with the whole suspension system.

i too am looking to lower the car but not to the point where my wheels are tucked or i have to get a camber kit.
i agree that cutting them or airbaggin' the car is pointless lol.
i heard rave reviews about the HKS springs, but i also here they don't drop the rear enough!
i'm looking for a good even drop and many have said either
HKS springs w/Koni adjustable shocks (btw, HKS won't wear out your shocks quickly)
or just get coilovers (that's what people advised me!
i'd love to see pics of different springs!

u planning on replacing them if they are stock?
btw, do you have a close up pick of front & rear just so we can see better?

Really impressed that you got the 18's to tuck...what size are the tires. I have 255/35 18" in the rear and 225/40's in the front. I keep going back and forth between the "tuck" look or keeping the wheels close to the wheel well. I have H&R Coil overs and I really like the ride and the fact that I can now adjust the springs.....pictures forthcoming when I get it right. Playing with the adjustments tomorrow.....looking for it a little lower, but I dont want to slam it.

Cheers!
