depends on how low a drop you want to go...

lowering springs can cost less then $200

but then coilovers can be $1000

I think Front 20mm - Rear 30mm is a perfect drop with no scrapes. It also drives and looks much better. Best all round.

Any lower and you would be scraping on Hell's potholes! >:^O

Any rubbing? And what wheels and tire size you going with?

from being that low, my fenders are rolled haha. a scrape all day but it's part of lifestyle. I'm going lower soon when school is out for me. wheels...I'm kinda keeping on the down low. they are going to be sicckk if they turn out how I have them planned. pretty sure they will be a fit first and also maybe a first for the wheel in general (:

I'm there with you! I have to park in front of my house instead of in the garage now and also can't park in the garages at school because I'll rub like a mug
