Sportlines for a big drop, or pedders for pure performance in handling!

For either setup get the Koni Struts, they are a step above the FE5 suspension.

what are your goals with the car? plan on tracking it or are you just wanting a descent drop?

So do the LNFs have any problems being low? As in h&r low.

Ugh. lol. One week I want SSC/CM to be safe on my axles. But then I see Derek's car and MetallicSCs car and want H&Rs all over. I think im going to buy the H&Rs. I mean if I dont like them or if my axles start making noises Im sure they wont be hard to sell on here.

I daily drive mine on Pedders and could not be happier with the ride quality and drop. Rides like it's stock until you rip around a turn!! I don't worry much at all about bottoming out either!

i wouldnt get the race springs. im on the sports and it does pose a problem sometimes on places id LIKE to drive. like i can never take my car to wendys here because of the drop. a couple other places. if i had the race version which drops the front more i couldnt even imagine.

front is even with the rear drop wise. if it looks angled its because of the pictures
