I plead ignorance.. I know a lot about my car, but im totally oblivious to this whole dropping/strut/suspension thing..

Heres what I'm planning on doing.
Im getting 17 inch deep dish rims, and I need to drop my car and be able to raise it again for winter time.

How do I go about doing thins?
Anyone have any setup suggestions?
Much thanks in advance

Coilovers, if your willing to sacrific ride quality. If not I suggest dropping 1.5 and being extra careful in the winter (or storing)

for adjustable ride height you are going to need coilovers. you basicaly have two choices:

$1300 Teins: overkill for most
$430 Ground Controls: best coilover choice for most people
(not realy a choice): ****ty ebay coilvers $60

I wouldnt get coilovers witout buying new struts as well. Actually if you think you can be careful in the winter I would go with springs. If not Im sellin my Ground Controls with less than 3-5k(have to look to be exact) miles on them for $250 in the next month or so.
