RE: lowering my car

change out the struts too... don't just put lower springs on stock struts, because it will ride like *** and wear out your struts faster... that's from experience

RE: lowering my car

What type of drop are you looking for? Meaning, do you want something that will lower your suspension a bit (1.3" - 1.7") or do you want to totally slam your car?

RE: lowering my car

if you plan on doing the work yourself, get new rear shock-mount bolts. Trust me, the stock ones will probably be seized up. I think I've only ever heard one story of them not being seized.
