I get a set of Coilovers instead. You'll be able to adjust your height whenever you like. Probably go with some Ground Controls. They usually run about $300-$350

I've seen some people have nuespeed sport and they look real low but some people that has them, they hardly drop at all.

Once again, this is incorrect and misleading. I'm not trying to be a dick. but unless you can also do your own alignments, or dont care about the life of your tires then the adjustablity is useless. Just as a side note, most of my friends with coilovers never use the adjustable height feature. Generally once you have a good setting you stick with it.

EDIT: By the way I have Neuspeed sports and I'm pleased with the results

What if you need to have your car towed? You might wanna raise your car up right? Exactly, so thats the reason for getting coilovers....

Ok, that's one instance, but for the most part, coilovers stay dropped nice and low, kinda like your percentage

hahaha yah that was funny =p.

Yah I agree with 97, I found that once I had the preferred ride height, I'm pretty much stuck with it; same goes with my friends who also have coilovers. Adjusting just becomes too much of a pain, but one reason I did get it was for spring rates and, like prelude1897 said, was for towing hehe.... wait that was two reasons.

My friend's timing belt snapped and no tow truck wanted to touch his car. Forgot how he got that resolved. &lt;--- convinced me to get coilovers haha

Haha Yea, no hard feelings man. Luckily I haven't had the experience of having my car towed yet (Knock on wood ), but now that you guys mention it, I guess its more of a problem then I thought.
