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.

Yep, hes right. Its best while you have everything out as is. Rather then having to rip everything out 2 times. Be sure to replace your top strut mounts when you put springs in also. Otherwise the old ones are liable to crack and clunk every time you hit a bump.
