Post Whats best way to lower car?

What is the best way to lower my car? I have heard that Koni shocks will do some alone without springs. Please advise.

Yeah, just take out the springs and the shocks set your car on the tires alone. That'll lower the car!


With Koni Height Adjustables, you will be able to lower the car height. I don't think anyone has tried that before?? Theoretically, it should work....

If you have the $$$, get the Apexi/Nex Coilovers.

you can put a whole bunch of sun e420 (85 lbs) in the trunk and back seats. The stuff in the car is worth more than the car.

Or just lower it using some h&r springs and koni yellow shocks. I hear that the nex'i coilovers are good too...

I have seen the ground controls I'm not sure if they sit well if you have to jack your car up a lot...

Cool

I also got the H&R springs. I'm buying and installing the yellow koni's in a month. I'll let you know if it lowered more and how it rides.

Damn, everybody wants to be a comedienne.

The best way for me would be Canovers. Depends on what you want really. If you just want to lower your car for the looks, I'd say get some springs. But if you want handling, get a real coil-over set.

Just trim 2.5 coils and you'll be tucking a little tire all around...here's some old pics of my CL on cut springs. Rode GREAT.
