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 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.

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
