lowering a daily driver

i want to lower my car which is a daily driver. i was looking at struts and springs from tokico. and then an adjustable panhard bar. should this be enough? anything else you might suggest? my only worry is wheelwell scrapping. its a 1.75" drop and was wondering if anyone ever scrapes. these michigan roads let me tell you. i think itll cost about $550-600 . what do you guys think?

What springs are you going with to yeild a 1.75" drop? Depending on how old your current springs are a lowering spring may not drop your ar as much as you think. Old springs sag and have the same effect as lowering springs. An adjustable panhard rod and LCA relocation brackets should be added to anyone's part list who is lowering their car.

well the springs are tokico sprint. i have a 91 and i think the springs are still pretty good.

so some LCA relocation brackets? sounds good.
