fab up custom coilovers if your ability allows you. Buy a hydro or air setup if your wallet lets you. Or cut coils out of your stock springs if your feeling brave. Other wise, u are forever part of the 4X4 club

springtech, or sprint will drop you aprox 2" intrax 1.75, eibach 1.25. and these are all approximates.

3 in??? Eibach will lower it plenty, 1.25. It really makes a huge diff, and pleaaaasssse dont cut ur springs like some rice teenager =/ I dunno who all has Eibachs on here, but i know Jonny does, with 18in rims. a good pic of his car is in the calendar thread.. Jackal2000. I wouldnt lower it any more than that, personally, unless you were rockin a whole bags system.


(hehe im rockin in the 4x4 club :P )

if you cut the springs right there is no problem. my brother in law drove on cut springs for 3 years with no problem. when you heat the springs that is where you get in to problems. i had a set of cut springs on my car for 8 months and no problem and when i jacked up my car there would still be tenshon on the spring keeping it in the pocket. now i have air and the ride is about the same a little more sportey but less roll.
