Default Lowering car

Best way to lower? not asking for much, few inches....

Cut the springs ? Bad, but cheap...

Buy springs... Expensive, but smooth ride...

Which one would be worth it? And if i should buy springs, what's the best affordable kind?


Im a noob at this stuff >_< Any help is appreciated!

Cutting the springs will cost you in the long run, cuz you'll mess up your shocks.
Buy some Tein springs ($125) or some Progress springs ($140).

You could also get some Ground Control or Skunk2 coilovers for less than $300. But I would highly recommend that you also get struts as well because your stock ones won't last long if you don't. I have the Skunk2's and Koni reds, which was $570 and couldn't be happier.

you will need to buy aftermarket shocks because if you lower your car on stock shocks, you will blow them in less than a year. usually a good spring/shock combo runs for around $500. If you don't ever want to have to worry about springs sagging or shocks blowing, buy a full coilover system but it will run you at least $700 usually
