get some 5" springs. Or go to sears, buy a hacksaw, and make your own. Either one will make your car handle like crap, but it will look cool, right???

Sorry man, but you really should rethink this.

3.25" is already low enough, don't you think?

why not just get rid of your whole suspension and run roller skate wheels all around...

There is absolutley NO benefit of doing this... Itll mess up your car, your wheels, your dental work...

Air ride will lower it so that it is on the ground, but why add all that weight just to lower the car. It is going to do nothing but hurt the performance of the vehicle.

not everyone's out for just performance let's not be too narrow-minded

surprisingly, an air suspension will probably end up weighing less than a stock suspension...if it matters. we're not talkin hydraulics here w/ like 10 batteries in the back hehe.
