Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
my suggestion would be to do it right. zx2/ST springs combo would be a good route.

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
Yah, NO! Why? ST lowering springs are designed for the 4cyl ONLY. There is no ST lowering spring for the V6. If you put them on the V6 (GS) you WILL hear em' clunk. I recommend H&R Lowering springs...
The ZX2 Struts are very nice. Nothing bad to say about em' :]

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
Im with him..... H&R's are the way to go for springs.. and zx2's are good but the best would be to hack up your old struts and get koni adjustable cartridges (its actually really easy to do) after i got cheap struts put on i didnt wantt o just let my old ones go to waste so i took my hacksaw to them and then gave em a fresh paint job ,they turned out not bad. Pics are on P.5 www.cardomain.com/id/joe84I recommend H&R Lowering springs...

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
tire size - 205-40-17
H&R says they lower 1.5" front and 1.3" rear
Mine went down 2" front and 1.5" rear but i like it... I personally wouldnt want lower than 2 inches drop front or rear

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
Agreed here too. H&R's
and more than a 2" drop can have you scraping bottom on every agressive speed bump and steep driveway entrance you come across.

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
Well i think your full of **** lol...cause they damn well clunk. Hell, at the bottom of almost every coil it's flat...not round like it should be. Why? Cause they keep hitting eachother!!Originally posted by Eggo:

Re: I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR ANY SUGGESTIONS
My H&R springs did that too, but i didn't have em on long enough to see em flatten like you describe. H&Rs will clunk too.Originally posted by Quick Sliver:
