dropping question

Ok so I figured out that bisically the car will look dumb with the body kit on it or rims on it without a drop, so before I do all that I'm getting a drop. How far should I drop it? And will 19's fit and look good once dropped?

Depends in your budget. If you have a lot of money, about $1000, get coilover. Or for about $500-600 you can get Springs and shocks.

Coilovers allow you to adjust the height and dampening (how soft or firm the ride is).

A good spring and shocksetup would be H&R Sport and Tokico Blue

Do a search here on the forums and you'll find a lot of info.

...its because you ask nub questions that can easily be answered simply by searching a little bit. Honestly, just get 19's and don't drop the car.. then you'll see whose "crying" and looking like a retard.. b/c if it wasn't for us aZine people, you would've bought and mounted your 19s, thinking you look cool with some new shoes.. but in reality, you look like a moron with the huge wheel gap.. and all the people staring at you aren't staring because your ride looks tight, they're staring because it looks like shit.

Bro we told you to drop you car in the other thread but you was like nooo i want my rims first see.

But yea that topic has been ran into the ground. It all depends on what you want. Springs they got the H&R sports which alot of ppl are running on around here and like them a couple of us are running on Eibach pro kit and then others are running on Tein coilovers. its all what you want. I was confused at first i was stuck between H&R and Eibach, but i went with Eibach because H&R dont go low enough imo its noticeable but not like Eibach
