lowering springs

Okay guys, its come time for the lowering springs... Suggestions please.

How much do you want to lower it?

Is this for looks only, or are you looking for better handling, too? (i.e., what's the car used for?)

Im not sure honestly. I want it to sit nice. Ihave 18's with 285 and 265 tires, and I dont want any rubbing. like an inch out back an inch and a half out front

Inch and a half up front is getting into CC plate/eccentric bolt territory, though if you're just doing it for looks, you can get away without it.

You shouldn't have any issues with 265s rubbing, I run 275s up front and it *barely* rubs on the swaybar at full lock (and even then, it only does it on one side).

For the springs, I'd look into the H&Rs, probably the Super Sports to get the height you're wanting.

this aint rocket science, for lowering in the inch range get eibach pro kit, if u want lower eibach sportsline and yes it will tighten up ur handling, if u want even more handling get some nice KYB/Tokico/KONI struts/shocks
