Ya and I found a good ebay company selling them and they are legit springs because there are a lot of fakes out there. So If you deiced to get these springs let me know and Ill give you the company that sells real ones.

Not sure, It's a 1.7 and 1.9 in drop so I would say the only way would be to cute them which I would never ever do to any springs, but after the springs settle in and you bounce the car it gets a tad bit lower.

Yea i wouldnt cut them thats a terrible idea...idk im wanting either a 2" or 2.5" drop if I do get one...im basically on the fence with my car in that aspect cause its kinda pointless imo. I have a auto y7. Nothing special about it or my car so why make it look like there is you know? Not that a short drop makes it look that way but i dont feel a need to do so if I dont even plan on keeping her after college. I just want to get her back to stock everything plus a few small oem things like the front lip and something better for exhaust.

Well the skunk2 lowering springs I think give a 2.25" drop, but I would recommend aftermarter Tokica Blue Struts as well.

So i got a new 360 yay WOOOT! Ive been saving for a while now and finally got one so was excited. Anyway but now im going to save for a 10" sub and a new headunit...thinking a Sony Xplod speaker, and maybe a sony headunit ??? and soon after that i'll be getting new door speakers. Porbably Sony as well. But my question is, will I need to get an amp for a 10" sub? Cause that'd bring up the price quite a bit :/

A lot of people say that Sony is on the back end of the product quality spectrum. However, it really is an opinion thing.

I have never had a problem with their speakers and head units. However, IMO, their amps and subs suck big time.

If you are thinking about getting a sub, yes, an amp is extremely recommended. Check out your local CL. I found my 5 channel Alpine amp locally (used lightly) for $80.
