Lowering... without the lowering kit!, think it'll work? Options

[CelicaBuddy]

Just thinking about a lowering kit yall...

Cuz Im wanting to get 17's and well Ive heard many many times that 17's would look really messed up if the car is not lowered. Problem is, Dad wont allow the lowering kit, cuz my sister had her civic lowered and it totally screwed up the way how the car rides.... And he doesnt want that hapening to my Celica, which is understadable....

Anyways.... There's a back up plan to this little situation and itd be like lowering the car, without messing with the suspension.

Plan is.... To get 16's... With skinnier/thinner/low profile/you catch my drift Tires.... He's sayin it'd drop the car bout 2 inches (which is about how much I wanna drop it) and I wont havta mess with the suspension what so ever... He said he did it to a car he had in the past (250 Z if Im not mistaken) and he said it worked.

Sounds like itd work to me.... Whatcha think?

But back to the lowering kit.... For those of you who got em... How do your car's ride? What kit ya got? All the basics of a lowering kit... Maybe, My car will be lowered, and I'll be ridin my 17's.... But the 16's plan is looking pretty bright... Any suggestions people? Thanks

Cutting the springs is just about the cheapest thing you can do to lower the car, it makes the ride very bad not to mention you will no longer have the original springs to fall back on if you dont like it.

all you have to remember is:

Cut Springs = Rice = bad

edit: and yeah it will lower the car, depending on how much you cut off i guess you could really dip it low, pick it up slow, roll it all around...... (sorry broke into song again )
