Ok, here is my situation. I am looking to drop my car, but I have a few questions first. I have heard a few different things about what the best way is. this is going out to all that are lowered.
OK - I at first wanted to go with coil-overs (Ground Control) because I feel as if there is much more play room you can slam it for shows, but yet raise for daily driving.. That is good and all but I dont want to deal with chamber kits, alignment problems, popping, premature tire wear etc. So I decide to look for lowering springs, I was looking at two of the top brands of course. H&R and Eibach. The problem with the springs are I want a bit more drop then the 1.5 or so I have heard a lot about the SPOOL springs.. (Nothing but good of course. Go Terry! ) I have the Auto Exe lower lip spoiler waiting for the install. I was not sure if the spool springs and the lower lip spoiler would be too low being 2 and all.
So far I am leaning towards the Eibach pro-kit, I wanted my tires to be tucked but If they are not I will just have to deal with that and realize that I at least have a good set of springs under me.
Here are my questions:
1: If I go with springs what is your opinion of the best set? And why?
2: If decide to get coil-overs would I have alignment problem w/o a chamber kit? Popping?
3: If anyone out there has the Auto Exe lower lip installed and has their Mp3 lowered can you post pics and give info on clearances and how many inches dropped?
4: What advice can you give regarding lowering my car in general?
Please keep in mind that I am trying to lower my car and have it feel, and run as good if not better than stock. I am also on a budget or else I would just go with the JIC system.
Oh, and any pics are welcome.
In advance, thanks to everyone willing to help out and reply.
