oh ok cool. yeah if you ask dumb questions, you will get a lot of criticism, and get called dumbass.... so if you are cool about it then it's all good.

a lot of people get hurt over what's said on the internet.

depending on how much you want to drop your car.
i'd say go with H&R or Comptech springs if you want some nice drop for a little price. there around 1.5" drop. if you have money, then go with mugen SS or Aspec suspension or coilovers.
i'm currently on tein s-tech (1.5" front 1.7" back) and this is what it looks like

5-speed base.. wow it was exhausting but today i painted my calipers red!! yea i think i actually got about 5-6 extra horsies outa that :)

is there lowering springs out there for like 100 or less? im on a budget right now but this stock ride height is killin me.. also should i keep those mud flaps on??

K20Z1
12-19-2008, 07:06 PM
i took my mud flaps off, def look cleaner.
as for springs, go on crsx.. usually you can find cheap ones from other members.. if not go with H&R there like 150 .. or megan ones.. or go with progressive(my favorite) there around 170 brand new.
