there is nothing wrong with lowering the car (other than the lack of aftermarket struts/shocks) but when you lower the car it sometimes makes odd clunking noises when you make a hard turn or go over a large bump.

not a big deal other than nobody really knows what the hell it is...

nothing wrong wit lowering the car..it'll be fine. For people that say not good to lower a car its like saying its not good to put an intake or exhuast on your car...basiccally anything you do to your car is not good, but we do it anyway. if you want to lower your car do it...

There is no problem with lowering your car, it actually makes it handle better and have a more aggressive stance, with less wheel gap, i got about a 2finger gap all way around, i paid 240 shipped for my springs, and install was 150$. pic of my car lowered in my sig.
