Need help on lowering

Hey everybody, i'm planning on lowering my car. At first i was thinking about the H&R OE, which is only 1inch drop, but now i have decided on the Prokit, which is a 1.4 drop. I wanted to know how would it look with the Prokit. PIcutres would be nice. Cuz i don't really want to lower the car alot, i'm tall and it's hard for me to get in and out of the car already.

Prokit sucks. Get Neuspeed Sport Springs they give you a 2 inch drop.......i have em on my car, but no pictures.

My set up is Neuspeed Sport Springs and Bectecs adjustable struts. I can raise and lower my car at will and i have a stock ride.

My car is dropped right know 3 inches


if u need me holla

What are you looking for? If it's looks, get the Sportlines. If you lean more towards performance, get the Prokits. Sportlines are lower than the Prokits, yet use a softer spring rate. Sportlines are not sold outside of the US.

Here are some pics of my car with stock tires and wheels.

I have Eibach prokits with Tokico shocks. I suggest you change shocks too to save money on installation. Plus, they'll help settle the springs a little lower. I hope this helps.

thanks for the picture. I think i'm going with the pro-kit. I don't really want to lower my car alot, and that prokit with stock wheels looks like it just gets rid of the gap. Just what i'm looking for. How's the ride on it? And do you know where i could buy them for cheap online?

You're welcome. Remember, your car won't look like that unless you change shocks. Like I said, the shocks help the springs settle a little lower. Some people in this forum didn't even notice much of a difference with prokits alone (without changing the shocks). The ride is very much like stock but there is a dramatic difference in the turns! Try www.importhookup.com or www.groupbuycenter.com. Or you can go to any car shop in your area who sells them because they'll most likely charge you less for installation if you buy the springs and shocks from them. If you have any more questions, PM me. I hope this helps.
