Lowering springs

far too practical.

then people will say their car rides like poo, or their wheels scrape or theyll complain that their shocks feel like sh`t now, or their *vegena* hurts over speed bumps.
 
It's alright guys decided to go the 2 inch drop seeing I have to measure off my exhaust getting quotes tomorrow and will post results when done. Thanks guys for your help :)
 
You don't HAVE to measure from your exhaust, you measure from the lowest point of your car. For me that's the front left part of the lip, with super lows it's 100mm or just under I think, something around that..
 
Get kings, I'm not sure what size mine are ( they where installed when i bought the car ) but the car only just scrapes past as being legal and I don't have a body kit, never cut your springs . The Reason not to is if you corner hard ( we drive lancers so of course we do ) there isn't as much surface area on the top of the spring for it to push on and it can slip causing you to possibly lose controll.
 
lowering springs are the cheap alternative, but they are only cheap for the short term. they end up weakening your struts alot quicker than usual, and if you plan on keeping your car for a few years, you save money with coils in the long run.
with my experience in lowering springs, id only use 'lows' which are a 1' drop. super lows/ultra lows which are 2', 3' are a uncomfortable ride, and damage your struts. the ride becomes bouncy and you feel every bump, with ultra's, you need to drop down to 1st gear and crab walk over anything that is slightly raised, and say goodbye to parking in garages, or shoping centres, or blabla. you might think the idea is cool, but you learn very quickly that it is very impracical. im running superlows and my tyres tuck, so im speaking from experience.
