I wouldn't suggest more than 2 inches. Besides 2 inches a big drop as it is. You would need more than just lowering springs. You would also need new camber and caster plates, also for a drop that big go ahead and spend the money on new shocks as well. If you just do a subtle but aggressive looking drop like 1" in the rear, and 1.5" in the front it will look awesome. Take a look at AB's car. Also for springs check out eibach, steeda, and C Springs.

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: kelowna,BC, Canada Posts: 1,374	nah dont; let them scare you haha i got a 2" all around speeed bumps are that big of a deal and um yeah i got 17" rims and only rub when i crank it hard. anyways Canuck motorsports based out of surrey canada has the springs you can find them on ebay. anyways if you do gett he drop get some camber plates so you can do a proper wheel alignment. the shocks aren't that big of a deal it's just harder on the stock ones being so low and you'll just wear them out faster cause of the limited travel. my problem is.. i got side exhuast too so yeah now speed bumps are a problem haha cause my mufflers sit even lower. i dunno anything below 2" is getting sketchy IMO cause i was like you meh 2" or lower ..now i'm going wow 2" is alot...... anyways look into the exhuast set up your gettin like long tube headers and all, cause they are gona cause problems if your really low. anyways go look for some of my posts i got pics of my car in them if you wanna see the 2" drop

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: kelowna,BC, Canada Posts: 1,374	haha yeah like i said b4 the new springs are just harder on the stock stuff cause it's not made for it. anything less than 1.75" ( i think ) you won't need a camber plate kit to get a proper wheel alignment thats all. just look into what you wanna do. and steeda is a nice set of springs none the less
