i got jacked.

i came out of my house today and i noticed that my car was sitting a bit high. i came closer and i saw that my front lip was missing. i was ****ing pist. Someone jacked my front lip during the night. I always parked my car outside cuss i'm the youngest in the family. My car looks retarded with just the hanging side skirts. So I took the skirts off and left the mugen accord rear lip cuss it lines up and looks nice with the stock skirt.
It actually doesn't look too bad now, but now its looks like a scraper. my 18's+stock height=. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on wat to use to lower my car. I'm looking for 1" or 2" drop, with the smoothest ride possible so my gf doesn't throw up. cheap as possible? lol. poor student .

i'll have pics up tomorrow. thanks ahead.

dude that sucks man, invest in a code3 alarm with a pager. anyway ground control are good coils, u can drop it 1-4 inches (springs are eibach) 1-2 for riding around, and slam it on 4 when its show time.
if you see your lip another car, yank that hoe off.

Next time screw the lip on, did you just use the double sided tape?

As for soft and cheap, look into tein basics

Basics are cheap for coils

By the time u buy some tein springs and some shocks, you're about to the cost of the basics

the lip was screwed and glued on. it was the ABS ebay lip. i dunno how they managed to get the lip off so clean. do you guys have any DIY on coilovers? or is it too much for a regular guy.
Would these fit? And are they worth it? thanks.
