WTB: lowering springs
I want to buy lowering springs. Not trying to spend a fortune. Shipping is to 15126, but if it's a reasonable distance, I'll just take a drive. Lemme know what you got.

Thanks.

Yeah. Well ideally i'd love to get about an inch lower and switch to some gold 18"s.

Honestly, I want to drop 2 inches and run some 17's with low-ish tires or 16's with medium sized tires.. Go for a less huge-ass wheel look.. Ideally a set of Saab 16/17's, but I can seem to find the set that I want as a set of 4.. Ever..

My ultimate setup with be some 18" gold Kyowa KR206's (i'd get a pic but my puter is being gay and won't let me save images for some reason.......but they are one of the few gold wheels that are available in a 5x110 pattern) and ARK coilovers. Oh man would I love my car then......

But before i'd ever get gold wheels I feel that my car would need to sit a tad lower and have the SS/SC front lip on it to look right.

Yeah, I'm still up in the air about the front lip now that I'm spoilerless.. My feeling on it is that if I fine one that is a good deal, I'll grab it. If not.. **** it. lol.

I didn't want one for the longest time, but now I feel that it's like I really need it to complete the look of my car.

I was set on getting one when I put the high-rise on and the 18's.. But now i'm downgrading wheel size and spoilerless.. I'm not against getting one on the car, but I am against spending like 300 to get one.. lol.

Yeah. Well i'm just waiting on my friend to give me his old one. Its come off an '05 Victory Red SS/SC. His front bumper got messed up, so he's getting a whole new front assembly. The lip is fine though, so he's selling it to me for $20. I know a guy up in MD who's gonna paint and install it for $50. So for $70 i'll have an SS/SC front lip. Only downside is I gotta play the waiting game.

I said after I got my few last little things. Only THREE things left before I retire it entirely:

SS/SC front lip
Modern Performance flootmats
SRP Racing satin aluminum pedals

The only other two things i'd MAYBE do are K-Sport coilovers since I have credit at Sportcompactonly.com ($1,200 credit car for them) and the gold 18"s. But of course i'd sell my 19"s and my springs to help fund those.
