ss springs will drop you about a half inch all around. Look at the sticky's at the top of the supension forum they will help you find what you need

Do yourself a favour and get lowering springs. I would recommend a set but I haven't installed my H&R springs yet. I'll let you know what I think when I do.

If all you want is an Inch to inch and a half drop go with the SS springs like the people are saying. But if you want a 2-2.5inch drop go with Eibach lowering springs. Thats what i have and there great.

I'm selling my sportlines, only on for four months before I decided to opt back to my stock springs due to the harshness...... PM me, I'm selling them for $170 including shipping

For purchasing Eibach Sportlines talk to Jason at A Plus Performance. he is a vender on here. Does awesome work. I got mine 200 plus shipping. ended up being like 225 i believe.

With any spring your ride is going to be much stiffer. You will pretty much have to relearn how to drive, especially if the roads in your town are on the bad side.

Where I live there are ALOT of potholes.. and im not going to lie.. when you hit them its pretty rough. But like I said every spring is going to give you that. Some are better.. some are worse.. just remember the lower the spring goes the rougher it is going to be. also if you have aftermarket wheels, the smaller the tire size.. the rougher the ride will be. Add them together and the car can ride pretty bumpy

thats exactly why i dont wanna go to low becasue i have aftermarket rims with low-pro tires on it so the ride is pretty bumpy already and i go to school in nyc and am in the boroughs most of the time so i really dont wanna drop it too much maybe an inch all around just to clear up some wheel gap so i guess i should go with the ss/sc springs?
