Well, after almost 17 years owning this car, this s my first major mods. Lowering it. Technology has changed over the years when it comes to springs. Eibachs gives a good drop but retains the stock ride which I want. Take a look.

It's only a 1" drop. These are Eiback Pro Kits. One of the best.



The ride still feels like stock but the cornering has improved almost 110%


Next is track bars and a strut bar. Maybe Bilsteins all around.

 

Looks nice. It's getting close to time for me to buy new springs, and I'm going with lowering ones as well, I believe.

 

looks good, i installed the sportlines 6 months ago and i was amazed on how much the handling improved. both kits work great the prokit is alil stiffer in the rear but i think they could both use stiffer springs in the rear. i wanna rip out my rears and put in 250-350lb springs in the rear to give me a stiffer ride. nothing wrong with the sportlines

 

Looks really good. I know what I'am getting next.

 

Interestingly enough, your fender gap "looks" similiar to mine after Moog 5665/5662 replacements. Would you mind measuring from the ground through the center cap to the fender lip?

Yea, I'd be interested in that number also.

 

A 1 inch drop makes these cars go from looking good to looking INCREDIBLE. Just perfect!

 

The springs will help the cornering, but they will kill the shocks. The best bet will be some shocks designed for a lowered ride height. KONIs are the way to go. It will be a world of difference with good shocks.
