1" Drop

[SuperTrooper]

I picked up a 1998 GS-T with 16k original miles and I am planning on doing some modifications... I will be getting 17x7.5 rims with 215/45 tires. My question is, I want to drop my vehicle 1" and I want to do it the right way. Money is not a problem so I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me everything I will need/should get to do this the right way. This will be a daily driver, no drag racing etc.

Thank you!

I've got profits with illuminas and they ride better then my stock set up did. It dropped about 1.5 inches and love the look. You'll need springs and struts or coilovers. There's plenty of forums on this and you should be able to pick from there which direction you want to go

^^^ He means Prokits, not profits, misspelling.

Here, take a look in here, find a stance you like and buy the same parts. Remember you'll need an alignment after messing with suspension parts. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/appearance-interior-exterior/390469-official-post-your-suspension-setup-thread.html

I also went with prokit springs and illumina struts. Also, if you are buying the wheels and tires new 225/45/17 would be a better fit for a 17x7.5" wheel.
