Should I lower my car?

I was thinking about dropping it about 1.5". What are some good springs?

Yes lower it.

Eibachs are good.

Re: Should I lower my car?

I just lowered mine on Sunday.....talk about a pain in the ***! I used the Eibach Pro-kit and I think the car looks sharp but man is it stiff now. Just keep in mind when you lower it your sacrificing ride quality. I also got the weld on relocation brackets....spend the extra money for bolt ons!

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit and I love it.
You can get them on eBay for as good a price as anywhere brand new.

Definitely go lower.

I've had the dropzone springs on my 240sx. Everyone told me that it would make my car feel like crap and it would be either to stiff or not stiff enough. I thought it made the car feel more comfortable than before and the handeling was great too.

Lower it, but make sure to make a good choice on the drop. I think 1.5 is a good drop or the 1.3. I put Eibach Sportline srpings on mine (2 inch drop) and had second thoughts for a little while, but have become used to them and know when my car will scrape, no speed bumps anymore

Your car looks amazing.

If you lower it, I wouldn't lower it too much, the GFX make it look low already. Nice car.
