How much did the springs lower your ride? I really want to improve the ride of my car but I am worried that I will have trouble in the Michigan weather if my car sits too low.

Great. Thanks. I'm going to check into these. It looks like a cost effective upgrade. How hard was the install?

One more ? I have never had my car lowered. Is this a problem if the car is full of passengers(can it be too low) or does the higher compression rate of the springs make up for this?

The higher compression helps but with a full car you might get some rubbing on the tires, especially over bumps. Of course this is depending which tires and wheels you have.
