Question Body kit help?

I am going to purchase the Buddy Club 2 Kit and 17" Velox VX 6-R.

What springs would you recommend for good drop w/ kit?

And ho much does it usually cost to install and paint body kit?

Does anyone have the buddy club 2 kit and was it easy to install?

Thanx

if you get a real buddy club 2 kit it will be very easy to install. local paint shop around my area was gona charge about 500 to prep and paint the kit. and as for the drop i have H&R springs and like them- 1.3" drop, maybe if you want more of a drop get the eibach sport line i think its close to 2", but im not sure

^can't daily drive in sportline, they are too low... I know because I have them.
however you can get rubber pads for the bushings and raise the car at your pleasure, just like Le manns drivers

be sure to get a real buddy club 2 kit, and hopefully you are in a warm climate or have a winter beater, fiberglass blows *** in winter

yea, make sure its urethane if you want a nice drop. my body kti is urethane and i scratch the side skirts everywhere i go.... because they are urethane then bend and only the bottom gets scratched...... luckly you cant see the bottom. i'm dropped about 2 inches i think.

Neuspeed sports give a good drop, about 1.75 inches. You would be fine with those. I have them on 17's (sold, ordering 18s monday) and I'm on the shitty Michigan roads.
