to drop or not to drop....
to drop or not to drop....
i cant decide whether or not to drop it, all of my friends who like lowered cars tell me that it looks fine the way it is. i will probably never be happy with the way it looks, i will stare at it until i find something wrong. so lets get some other opinions, should i drop it? how much? sportlines or pro kit?

i don't know how you could. i mean i know you could, but i have enough problems with the tires rubbing the wheel wells when i go over bumps. i want to lower mine, but i'm afraid of what it would do. plus getting in/out of my driveway would create huge problems for me. but if you can do it, go for it.
oh, and where did you get your exhaust tips (and how much)? that's a great idea because mine scrape the ground a lot.

Looks pretty low the way it is, or are the pictures out of proportion or something? I say keep it like that.
this is good, im liking the replies, it will save me money.i also didnt want to drop it because chances are i would lose my 1.8 sixty foot on street tires. right not the car sits about 4.5 inches off the ground, is that what everyone elses is at?

Maybe his springs are worn out and sagging.

the ONLY time my tires ever rub is if the wheel is cut all the way to the lock and i hit a large bump like a curb. other than that it never rubs. i dont know what the deal is.
