My T/A is awesome. But I want to drop it an inch or two, what do you guys think I would need? Is cutting the springs good or is new suspension system in order. Thanks for any help.

I used Hotchkis springs when i rebuilt my complete suspension.Lowered the car 1",i dont recommend cutting your springs.Have rode in cars with cut springs,they usually ride like crap.My car rides better now than it did stock.Hope this helps!

Cutting 1/2 coil off your springs is acceptable. Otherwise, buy aftermarket lowering springs. Most advertise 1.5" drop but realistically lower around 1". However, I have seen a 3rd gen Camaro with the Intrax springs and it looked like an honest 2" drop.

I have drop spindes on my car. This drooped the front end 2" and cut the rear springs. Just remeber when you lower you car upgrade you struts and shocks so you don bottom out. Just my two cents....
