no, not really.. Youll probably scrape a whole lot, but if you dont mind that, then its fine..
Make sure you get the required stuff to do it safely,i.e. camber kits and such..
And thats all you need.. itll look really good dumped like that

A friend of mine had his 91 dropped that low, and he had a lip kit on the front. He just had to be careful going over bumps and couldn't go over ANY speed bumps. But it looked NIIICE on his car.

that'll seriously f*ck your handling up. Most ppl seem to think that the lower it is, the better it handles, but that's not the case. Once you get too low it screws with your geometry too much for alignment to fix

He's right. Don't do that low. Myself....I personally wouldn't like anything lower than a 2" drop.

What's the purpose? Aesthetics?

You <U>need</U> suspension travel. Once you lower it that much you've eliminated the purpose for a suspension. I wouldn't go any lower than 2.5inches. And even that is pushing it with shortened shocks.

Mines lowered about 2.5-3 i think, they're cut is the prob, wasn't me it was the last owners friend or friends. But you know it's fun too drive that low but, when you get on it!, you better hold on too that steering wheel!..lol.

if you drop it that far just buy a real camber kit, everyones opinions on here are just that. opinions. if you like it that low do it. unless you are professionally racing it dont worry about the people acting like they know about what geometry you need for your car. my last da was dropped about 3.5 inches on 215 40 16's it handled awesome and it was able to be aligned to factory spec too. i used to have the print out but i gave it to the guy that bought the car. it was black automatic had leather and the ww lip kit it looked awesome and the tires lasted 40,000 miles on it. it you want some real advice. DONT PUT 15'S ON IT.

really easy you buy 215/40/16 tires and have them installed on your 16x7 wheels
i had yokohama's on it and they stopped making the tire i liked and so i put some 205 40's on it a week before i sold it it didn't handle anyhting like it did before, that 40 mm did make a noticable difference
