question about lowering your car

yeah i was wanting to drop my car about an inch or maybe 2. but i was wondering what would be the best investment lowering springs or coilovers and if i get either one what other parts do i need to purchase so my car still rides the same and the tires don't wear any faster? cause i have heard that if you do it wrong then their is a chance that your tires wear out faster.

your tires will wear out faster, yes they will wear out even faster with negative camber. and about the best springs or coilovers dude this has been talked about and explained several times but for what your looking for go with Eibach!


Edit: oh you said a inch or 2 hmmm then go with goldline! when i had mine i didn't see that much negative camber but the drop was perfect ....the tires were kinda even with the rear fenders! about 2 finger gap maybe 1 1/2!

Car will never ride good as oem stock suspension setup. Camber kit will take care out tire wear. You could go with neuspeed sports,eibach sportlines,goldlines. Oem shocks will wear out and you will need to replace them eventually. Dont forgot alignment after drop.
