Finally lowered the car, went with some cheap maxspeed lowering springs off of ebay for now. Installed them in a family owned garage with my dad and grandfather, and it took less than 2 hours. It's good to attempt mods with people who know what they are doing, so I was pretty happy about that. Rides a little harsher than before but not much, flat straights and corners are much more fun, and I personally think it looks alot better. Haven't done an alignment yet, but we're going to rig something up because I don't want to get c/c plates yet. Anyways, here they are: Before: After:
These cars should have come with C springs from the factory. I've parked next to small SUV / SUV wagons like subarus or Rav4's and noticed that I had more ground clearance before the lowering springs. I could crawl underneath the whole car!
Looks good! Post up another pic in a few weeks and see if you can notice anymore settling of the springs.
