Had the springs cut, dropped it about 2-2 1/2 in. Ride quality is pretty rough, but for all I drive it doesn't really bother me....yet. When I get new rims and tires I am probably going to go with Eibach's and new struts, but for now it treats me well.

Nice man. I think lowering gives a really sporty look. Nice car by the way. Later.

Wow, I bet you have almost no shock travel in the front...

Should invest in some bigger wheels Enjoy your rough ride :D Looks great.

Im getting my Fox springs within the next week also. Do any of you guys with lowered cars have any speed bump issues? I have about 20 at my school and I have to be able to go over them to get into the parking lot.

Come to school on a Sunday morning (like REALLY early) and take some patch ashpalt and make little ramps for your tires....lol

Ahahaha, thats a good idea, but they would have to be really long to even do anything.

Old speedbumps that are worn, no problem, moderate new speed bumps: go very very slow and you year only a little front end touch, meaty speedbumps: better find another way to wherever your goin. They had to jack my car up off the lift and side the lift out from under my car just so I could back up, if that says anything. I'll get some better pics tomorrow and post'em. Thanks for the compliments guys! And yes new tires are in the plans. I"m thinking black FR500's with the machined lip.

That looks VERY nice, makes me wanna run out and buy some new springs ASAP. I can stack my fist on top one another and stick them in my wheel well:(

Looks good....that's a pretty big drop. Our cars really look much better with a lower stance.

UPdated pics. I went ahead and removed my spoiler again. I think it looks better like this, what do you guys think?

i think the car looks great, just a shame that the ride suffers now. as for the spoiler leave it off if you want. i like it without the spoiler.

Sorry to change the spoiler issue (i like it with it on btw) but can you do a 2" drop by just adding lowering springs and not have to change/buy/install anything else? doesn't the front go outta alignment or tow out or anything of the sort (sorry for the silly question, but i grew up in hickville where the only thing there was to lower was your pickup and these were problems that they ran into) Thanks

If you drop it two inches you're gonna need cast and camber plates to be able to get a good alignment. Also, you prolly would not wanna get lowering springs and keep stock shocks and struts....you'll be bottoming out like crazy[:@][:@][:@]

what brand of springs? And did you change the shocks and struts?

Caster Camber plates are almost nessary on lowered cars.

Current status: stock everything, just cut stock springs. Yes, I fully intend to replace my whole suspension. C/C plates are sorta necessary, depending on how bad your car keeps chamber now. Most lowering places will just put caster bolts and leave it as is. That typically holds your alignment for over a year, from what I was told.

Love the drop on the car, that looks tight. But, I think the spoiler's gotta stay on, it just looks reeeeeaaaallly weird without it.
