I do have a set of lowdowns with ~9,000 mi on them.

AutoX-ed & 1 track day (ITR Expo). Price negociable. But, shipping would cost a lot, 'cuz they weigh a bit.

1. Leave the suspension stock and appreciate the car, especially since you just bought it

2. Lose the "cage", its only going to get you hurt

what RJ said.

If you do want it lower for looks, then just buy whatever springs are at the height you want.

That's the APC cage right? all it'll do in a rollover is collapse and possible injure the driver it the bars.

APC makes a cage? Yow... anyone notice in the latest GRM something about APC paying a $650,000 fine for making craploads of illegal taillights and sidemarkers? Quite amusing.

Man, I can't believe anyone would put those bars in their car. Go to http://www.nasaproracing.com and find the region closest to you. Then, find a track day or auto-x and bring your car there. You'll love it so much, you'll realize you're still very far away from needing new suspension.

Stock ITR suspension is incredible. don't mess with it unless you have a specific reason for it and know what you are doing.

The Autopower rollbar lets you keep the rear seat/deck if you wish, and you can also have removable crossbars. Not that it's remotely comfortable to sit back there with the rollbar or safe even but, Will allow the rear seats to stay in tact.

Full Roll cage though? H'mmm I don't see how that could work.

An opinion that I also share but, unfortunately not everyone will ever autocross or track the car.

And there are also unfortunately many people that will buy it just for it's looks and reputation. Rather than learning firsthand what it and they are actually capable of.

To the origional poster, GOOD (H&R, Spoon, etc.) lowering springs on stock shocks will be fine for looks and lowering. However performance and track are a totally different story.
