Skunk 2 coil overs

I want to lower my cls 1.5 inches and I am wondering these are good springs to get. They also told my I will not need a camber kit since I am only lowering it 1.5 inches. Any comments?

Don't do it...you'll pay for the ride later. Get regular springs...they'll lower them 1.5"

Get some eibachs or neuspeeds or h & r's and then make sure you get some Koni Yellow Adjustable shocks at the same time!!!

This is why I love this board.
Someone comes on with an idea and is looking for opinions.
An hour and a half later he has a bunch of good opinions, a first-hand report of how his idea works in the real world, and he's free and clear with no harm done in under 2 hours.

Dig it.

for shor'....

you might want to think about getting coilovers too. If you are considering doing lowering springs and Koni yellows you'll be pushing $800+. I believe the NEX coilovers are like $650-$700 (no dampening adjustment) and if you want to step up to height and dampening adjustment get the TEIN SS.

I have the TEIN's and I love them...ride is comfortable, stiff on corners, and no bouncing. Price is around $900-$950 shipped

I will say one thing good about the NEX is that they do come with a top strut hat....(basically, just slap them on and set the height, altho I think ride is a bit stiff.)
