Default Yeah, so i don't think i should lower my car.

I've been thinking about this for months now, and i'm still trying to decide.
I have to drive at least 60 miles to school and back everyday and i can't afford to be having camber problems, wearing out tires, and all the other headaches associated with this. What do you guys think?? i just don't think it's a good idea with all the commuting i have to do.

you can lower it.. if you do it right iwth the right shocks and either springs or coil-overs.. or a cplete coilover system it can ride close to stock.. and if you use a good reliable camber kit.. (i have heard bad things about the skunk 2 balljoints..) like ingals to correct the camber you can lower it with close to a stock ride with no tire wear problems.. it just all has to be done right

Youll be fine. If you drop like 1.5 or 2.0 inches youll be fine. Just get good stuff and get your wheels aligned after you lower.

My si is lowered on H&R sport springs and I have no usually wear. I have all four corner set to about -1 degree camber and again no wear. My front tire are beginning to show wear, but that is because I like to use my new suspenion. on the highway you should not have a problem if you do it right and don't lower it too far.
