Re: springs (spooniq)
drop looks alright, but don't expect it to handle quite as well. plus you'll be needing new shocks after a few thousand miles.
also, i don't know if i can stress this enough.. after you do the springs, for God's sake get an alignment! i can't tell you how many people i see that don't obey that simple rule

Re: springs (alex_b)
whats so important about gettin an alignment?? You cant adjust camber can you? unless u have a kit of course. Camber wear is the only downside of lowering a car, and camber isnt adjustable, so what is the alignment for.??
I have always wondered this. Please inform me. Thanks

First of all, an alignment means more than just adjusting camber on this car. This car doesn't have, nor require a kit of any kind to adjust the camber. Camber kits are for strut suspension where the shock travel & adjustments need to be extended to make proper adjustments within spec. The alignment on this car is very twichy and isn't for an eye-ball adjustment. The front toe, camber & caster all effect each other. This isn't something you want to get wrong. The alignment on this car means more than just being able to save inner tire wear (for those that don't exercise in the twisties), it can also mean how twichy the back end of the car is, or how fast you can go around a corner. The proper alignment can make a world of difference in how the car handles. And if you get adjustable coilovers, corner balancing is a must.
