Hey all,
I just put 18's with lo profile tires on my baby, and now it has such a big gap under the fender it really needs lowering. I want to know the proper way to lower without damagin shocks and other parts of the car. The tein springs interest me ad i think a 2" in the back and 1" in the front frop would suffice. A buddy told me that you shouldn't just buy springs as this will ruin the shocks. What if i get springs and coil overs? will that ruin anything...or have wear and tare on the shocks. I am looking for something cheap, but most importantly i want it done properly. With lower, good handling, and wont hurt shocks or any other parts of the car. What do you guys suggest. I may need more drop than what the tien springs provide. |

I may need more drop than what the tien springs provide. teins are good, if you go with coilovers and springs the only problem you'll have the you're gonna run out of places where to install them. you either get springs + shocks/strut or coilovers ( some comes wiht shocks/strut included like teins coilovers and some others require shocks/strut like ground control coilovers ) the cheapest proper way I think is teins springs + KYB GR-2 , it is recomended that you get new shocks/struts when you lower your car and after 1 -2 weeks on installed don't forget get an aligment done. -------------------- ![]() |
