lowering 98 cl, anyone know anything?
I'm thinking about buying the springs, I know how to put them in and shit, i was wondering if anyone has lowered there cl, and if so how much of a drop would you suggest? i was thinking the 1.7" but i dont know what i should do? And also, what brand would you suggest? Thanks///

alot of people have lowered their CL on here....how much of a drop depends on how low you want your car to sit...

alot of people have Eibach springs and KYB shocks...

and Welcome

Slam it. 1.5" - 1.75" sounds good. ElBach & KYB AGX... the only coilover setup you'll ever need. You can adjust the ride. Oh, you might want a camber kit, but it depends on how your car aligns.

I do, but it won't help cause I don't know how much it was lowered.

I said nothing about adjusting the height, the ride man. You know, how stiff or soft that shit is.

1.5 isn't slammed at all, that's called "lowered" 3-4" now that's slammed!
