Lowering cheap?

[Witzy]

I got a set of 17s on a 40 tire and I swear it needs atleast a 2'' drop it make her look cute.. But I'm not paying some shop over 500 bucks to do so. I got the damn car free.. regardless I want to know some good cheap ways to lower it myself...

PS I do have 3 garages availbile to me..

whats wrong with eibach?
are you looking for just lowering springs only or aftermarket shocks aswell?

Get GR2 shocks and Tein Stechs and call it a day.

I dont see anything "wrong" with them. I have had some friends just reccomend to try others. I am basically looking for the lower, but I am turboing the car so I will want some performance aswell

Dropzone is GARBAGE. DO NOT buy this brand. EVER.


In fact, DO NOT lower your car on cheap components if you value your life. Quality parts won't always kill your wallet (GR2s and Neuspeed Sport or Race springs). They'll keep you from crashing due to cheap component failure, and they'll also save your tires... cheap crap will sag and throw your alignment off. New tires are $400. A quality suspension setup could be less.


If you aren't willing to do it right, just don't do it. If you MUST spend the little bit of money you're willing to part with, buy something like a wing, or altezza tail lights. At least they won't kill you or someone else if they fail.

I would recommend this set up for your budget. Look at mine: stock shocks and teinS, same rim size and rubber 17" 40 , not big of a gap but still comfortable ride not to bouncy, if you go lower than 2" you'll scrape with muffler, lip, mid pipe, and your ride comfort just not worth it.

Dont have many pics, here are some!!!

bleh im running HR race springs with gr2 struts and it was fine for a while. the shocks are old now so i tend to hit everything. my muffler is fawked. i'd say get a simple 1.5" drop with nice gr2s.
