I Got To Lower My Car!

[maniax101887]

I wanna lower my car right now but Im only doin it for the looks until I can affor to get a real suspension setup. would I be able to run KW 60/40 setup with stock shocks on bottle caps with 195/60/14 tires. U can see them here http://tunershop.com/

Seriously???

Here's a novel idea. Save your money and do the suspension right the first time.

im not plannig on doin any autocross i juss wanna have the lowered look so if anyone can give me a real answer i would greatly appreciate it. I know goin for the slammed look is not highly recommended nor looked upon highly im just a young wiper snapper in rush to get his car lookin half way decent. Juss my life story in a nutshell. So any feed back would be appreciated

Dont waste your time or money. Hold out for the good stuff. Do it once, and do it right. Besides, lowering a car for looks and using bottlecaps is dumb. Spend the money you would buy a cheap setup with on real wheels, then do your suspension setup later. Wheels are one of the single most effective visual upgrades you can do.

buy a used cup kit or something like that if you want the slammed look. i think theres one for sale in the FS section now

^Great idea, and do the stance first, I think nice wheels with the 4wd stance
look horrible.

I got my H&R's and blistins for a little over $200 with 10K on them. I think I did the suspension just right.

Lowering springs on stock shocks will blow the shocks up and your car will become unsafe to drive it will bounce itself off the road. Save up and do the entire thing at once.

Hmmm.....

What you need to do is spend a significant portion of the value of the car on the "approved" suspension "mods" or you are unworthy, cheap, stupid, and have no class. You deserve a condescending response.
Or you could get a $170 coilover kit from http://cosmoracing.com
or a set of Tokico shocks and 1.25" lowering springs for $325 shipped from

and live a life of shame with a smile on your face.
