the car will seem shorter that way.



heh, anyhoo, you can always cut the springs, but you know, if you go too low, the car will scrape everywhere...

If you want to go that low airbag is the only way to go. That way you can make it super low at shows and cruising on flat ground, but when you need to use the car as a "real car" you can raise it and actually go over bumps and road obsticals. Do not cut the springs. I have the sportlines (2" drop) with average size tires (25.66") and if I were to go any lower the car would look dumb and not be able to drive over an ant.

Take the spring isolators out if you haven't already.

does that cause any harm when you take out the isolators? i thought about it but left them in, does it just make more noise?

If you dont plan to race it then I say bag it. Easy Street makes a kit for our cars. If you do plan to race I recommend you stick with springs. Look for adjustable spring pertches.

after finallly putting them on my car i'm with crazy....i wouldn't auto-x but they are just fine for drag racing. better so since you can adjust where needed. does have a learning curve though in that area but once you figure it out its great at the track.
