how to properly lower Options

[IslandStyle]

Hey all,

I just put 18's with lo profile tires on my baby, and now it has such a big gap under the fender it really needs lowering.

I want to know the proper way to lower without damagin shocks and other parts of the car.

The tein springs interest me ad i think a 2" in the back and 1" in the front frop would suffice. A buddy told me that you shouldn't just buy springs as this will ruin the shocks.

What if i get springs and coil overs? will that ruin anything...or have wear and tare on the shocks. I am looking for something cheap, but most importantly i want it done properly. With lower, good handling, and wont hurt shocks or any other parts of the car.

What do you guys suggest. I may need more drop than what the tien springs provide.

the cheapest proper way I think is teins springs + KYB GR-2 , it is recomended that you get new shocks/struts when you lower your car and after 1 -2 weeks on installed don't forget get an aligment done.

Technically the kyb gr2's aren't an upgrade since it is an oem replacement part.

ok, quick question why is it recomended that you get new shocks/struts when replacing springs. i am planning on getting some tein s-techs, and it looks like ill need the kyb gr2s as well, but why the new shocks/struts if they are technically just an oem replacement. my stock shocks/struts wont do the job. im just trying to get more familiar with suspension since i have never done it before.
