Helppp

Okay say i wanted to get my springs heated up and compressed. Will this give me a horrible ride or not too bad? And how risky is it to do that??

Why not just take your springs out? I am pretty sure it would work just the same.

well i already have dropzone springs..

it just seems like every spring out for the ss doesnt give it enough drop

either its not enough or its good in the front and not low enough in the back

i just want it to sit right

the best drop i have seen is the h&r's so i'll probably end up getting those

thanks guys

Don't do it the honda/ricer way for any manor. If u want it to **** up later on down the road then go ahead. Do it. If u want to do it right save ur money for some nice ass coilovers. .....otherwise do it and have fun whileu scrape up ur car on our arlington roads...... thread

It's not a Honda way. People have been doing this method since the 30's/40's before lowering springs were made.

Alright thanks for the help guys.

Also for the coilovers, what is the best out right now??

I really like the stance but if there are some others that are just as good but a little cheaper i wont mind getting those.

Any suggestions??
