Default General Question

ok so iv been wanting to start a project car for some time now. I have a 97 dx coupe and i of course got it from my parents. So now whenever i want to do something i have to talk to them first. I dont care about doing stuff they dont know about but i want to lower my car(they would notice) They say no because it "ruins the tires". I know if u lower it a **** ton it goes through tires but i only want to do a 1.5 inch drop. Will it really change it all that much??

With a 1.5" drop you won't need a camber kit. I would still get a 4 wheel alignment though. Your wear pattern will be normal.
