Base model lowering springs

Anyone got pictures of their base models lowered? I'm in the market for some springs
and want to compare ride handling, drop, handling and price. So if you could post pics and also what brand they are that would be awesome!!!

dropzones are your best bet imo.. they are cheap, ride nice, give a nice level drop (no reverse rake).

Thanks for the offer, I'd like to stay new though.

Where do you get those at? - I was looking at SSC's from ZZP... I dont want a HUGE drop, just want to lose some of the wheel well gap now
that I have 17's.

Yeah from what i've read SSC's are the best bang for the buck so to speak.. best all around lower, best handling etc.

i can see where this thread is going.. everyone is going to say different brands.. its really up to you.. i just have had personal experience with both progress and dropzone springs. and the dropzones were very cheap and gave just a good of ride/handling as the progress with a slightly better drop imo
