Default Lowering Springs

If I do buy a set of lowering springs, how would I go about installing them? What would be the benifits of lowerins springs besides looks.

To install you can:
- DIY, time consuming, but get to know your car.
- Look in phonebook for Custom Auto Shops.
- If no custom shops exist, call regular shops and ask if they would do it.

Lowering Spring Pros:
- Looks sweet
- Decrease wind's lift of the vehicle (like nascar) only at HIGH speeds.
- Lowers center of gravity of car, better for cornering.

Lowering Spring Cons:
- Destroy stock shocks.
- The ride is more rough
- If camber isn't corrected, improper tire wear and less traction.

There's more but I can't think of anything else right now.

Would you recommend a full coilover then ?

Well, if you have the money for them, yes. They are initially expensive and expensive to replace. But, again, if you have the money, go for it!!
