What?

I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're serious.

For less then $20 you can cut your springs and get all the beaches. For real doe, aftermarket lowering springs are gonna be the cheapest safe route, next up would be coilovers, most seem to love buddy clubs for these cars for the decent ride and mad lowness they can support.

As happy as this will make your wallet it's not worth it; You will never have it evenly cut on all 4 springs. You can damage body integrity, and cause stress where non should be.

Lowering springs however do a nice drop depending on the brand, but will blow your struts over time unless you spend the money to buy aftermarket struts to support your "MOAR LOW".

After all the installing labour hours it will be super costly, unless you have a spring compressor and have some common knowledge on how to work on suspension.

In all honesty, save up a little longer and buy some decent coilovers, (Godspeeds, Buddy Clubs, Skunk2, Megan Etc.) It will be worth it in the long run, and they are definitely easier to install over springs. And they come with adjustable ride heights to your satisfaction.

Do some research, but I guarantee you everywhere you search you will always see the words "COILOVERS" and "BUDDY CLUB"; and it's for a reason.

Happy Hunting!


Ryan

Your also going to need a rear camber kit too or else you'll be replacing your tires, a lot more than you need to.

THe racelands are a great deal but I have zero experience with them. BCs are great. I have put two sets on and the customers are loving them. I also put on a few HFP kits which is barely lower but oem quality.I agree with the above post. If you are asking just take it to a shop and have them do it. Much safer.
