What do you think I should do about lowering?

Well I just put my new body kit on my car, but cancelled my appointment to have my Neuspeed springs installed. The kit came out much lower than expected, and my car is a daily driver so I htink the springs will be too low. Do you guys think I should just get ground controls or skunk 2's instead? I would get Hayame's or teins, but the shop that I'm getting hooked up from will only install certain parts that they sell, and a rare few that they don't sell. What do you guys think I should do? I'll have more pics of my ride in my profile soon.

hmm, from the pic i see in ur ride gallery.

im thinkin a 1" inch drop would look decent. but if ur worrying about springs lowering too much, i say go with the coilovers then since their adjustable. ground control and skunk2 i kno of are one of the best for our cars.

how much are u willing to spend on lowering?

check out the faq to see what lowers how much etc etc

well ive already spent $520 for my neuspeed sport springs, full eibach camber kit/ both installed. So I figure skunk 2's would be maybe like $100 after I return the springs. And $100 is no biggee to spend right now.

man i remember back in the day gettin screwed for bout the same price on springs and camber kit, and ever since that day i vowed naver to let another shop install parts on my car.

it pays to learn about ur car and know how to install parts on it, saves a bunch of money in the long run and also gives a sence of acomplishment, hey whats the fun in moding ur car if u pay some one else to do ur work

but definately get coilovers, because u never know in the future when ur gonna want to lower ur car more, so its best to be prepaired. i bought springs for my car and 4 months later i odered some coilovers, dont make the same mistake

well I'm not exactly sure how much install was, because I got it as a package. No, they are not installed yet, thats why I'm thinking about getting coilovers. I'm not too sure what other shops do, but the reason I bought from this place was because of their lifetime warantee on everything. If any part breaks or doesn't perform well under any circumstance, this shop replaces and installs the part for free.
