Default Will my car get lower with time?

i currently have the red H&R racing springs on my 92si which we talked about in an earlier post. anyways, now (6 months after i got them) i notice that my car is significantly lower than it was when i first dropped it... is this normal? and will it continue to drop until it hits my tires?....

its normal on spring rate. after some time it will get lower, but you wont notice it as much. also it could be your struts too, if you have original factory struts you might want to replace them

koni yellows will. they have dampering capabilities as well as height capabilities in the struts.

Get the KYB AGX's (adjustable)...a lot cheaper but a very nice ride.
