SAVE YOUR MONEY. take the rubber isolators off the tops of the springs. put 3/4 inch heater hose on the spring and coat it with vasoline or some kinda grease so there isnt any rubbing nosies going on.

works like a champ. bout 5/8-3/4 inch drop. my secret, im sure its been done before tho.....

So how much heater hose would I need to do this? I mean how much of the spring has to be covered?

the intire top coil(what would normally sit in the isolators)

try it before you spend money on springs.

there are rubber "isolators" that keep the spring from comming in contact with the body. these are about 1" thick. you can take them out and wrap heater hose around the spring instead. taking out some space, therefore lowering the car.
