Help with lowering!?

[turbotwiggs]

Ok so i have posted up pics of my car and have had a lot of people tell me to lower it. It is complete stock suspension. I need help deciding what to do. Also dont know if i can just throw some lowering springs on or do I have to swap the struts too? Anyones input would be great. Thanks

If you want to lower the car and run it on the street-I would only get the stage 1 springs and Koni shocks. I switched back to stock springs and added koni's-I don't like lowered cars at all because of poor roads and snow,but it might be better where you are,i hear good things about stage 1 springs,but don't do it unless you upgrade your struts somehow. Koni has been around for like forty years and stands by their shocks made in Holland-they are also rebuildable, Topiko's are jap shocks that won't honor their war,and arn't as good or even close-don't buy them be a man saw your old jap struts up-cut them in half and put Koni's in made me really happy seeing those shitty struts bleed to death

ok so is that a no to just throwing on, lets say a set of eibach pro kits?

I have tein s-tech springs with stock struts, and they are just fine. Most people will tell you to up grade the struts to. If you do that then you will be spending quite a bit and might as well just save a little more and get coilovers.

Ya,i would go with koni's on any lowering kit-its really the only choice. those jap struts suk. or go with coilover's but i think the ride would not be very good and they are very expensive. $615 for koni's. Coil overover are around a $1000 or more for good ones-i might try those later but i doubt it. If you lower the without out uping the shocks-it will handle like shit and you will ruin your front end costing a lot of money in repairs!
