Why not just drive on your brake discs?

Bwahaha, I LOL'd at that.

Man I wouldn't drive it like that all the time. Mostly just when I part it, I'd let it lay down.

OK then, I have a question for you: Why do people with airbags park with the front at the highest, and the back at the lowest? Is this supposed to be cool? There's a row of cars parked at my school that looks like that.

No idea.

Here's the comparison:


How low I want it:




How low I THOUGHT it would be after Comptech springs:




How low it IS with my springs (still got some darn gap over the wheels):




How ridiculous it looked stock:


Hey look, the body is taking off... but it left the wheels behind! :p

Money and time. :'(


How much you think it would cost to do this with quality parts?

Probably need fenders rolled, some hydraulics so I could raise it a couple inches to go over speedbumps/potholes and turn corners.

I think you'd like the H&R Sport drop better.

Nah, AegeanCLS has H&Rs and it looks like his car got ghetto booty with dat saggy ass. It only looks that way because the rear wheel well is smaller or whatever, so it's really even not sagged, but to me it looks sagged. I like the raked/slammed look of the comptechs. I just want them a couple inches lower....

What if I just removed the springs alltogether? (j/k)
