[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 41058, member: 153"] You will have clearance problem if you lower your car too much. The most painful part about driving a lowered car is not the firmer ride. Its when you have to go to Jaya Jusco or some other department store parking with humps that are high enough to scratch the bottom of your car. Notwithstanding that, the benefits that lowered springs bring to handling, for me outweighs the disadvantages. I used to get that floating feeling with my standard springs, which btw had a gap of about 4inches between the tyres and the fender at the front (was not so bad at the rear). Changed my springs to H&R a few months back and simply love the way my car looks. The ride and handling is much better and I can now drive at greater speeds with confidence. So, do get yourself the lowered springs, and do some research on the types of springs available. Some links: [url=http://www.h-r.com]http://www.h-r.com[/url] [url=http://www.eibach.com]http://www.eibach.com[/url] [url=http://www.bilstein.com]http://www.bilstein.com[/url] Others - can't find website. Personally, I would lean towards H&R. Its a little bit more aggressive than Eibachs etc. Think of adjustable height. Think of coilovers too. Have fun deciding which one. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
