lowering my 2g but not killing my ride

[ILLiCliPSE]

Ok, I have some money to spend and im looking to lower my car

as you can see i have alot of wheel gap and i want to get rid of it, what are your recomendations, coilovers, springs, shocks, chamber kits, what brands of these etc.

I dont know much about suspensions so please tell me everything i would need to get rid of that gap and still have a decent ride.

Thanks!

When you lower the ride height of the car, you lose suspension travel. In order to combat this loss in travel the springs have to be stiffer, thus causing the ride to be bumpier and for most people not as comfortable. Basically, if you lower the car, it will ride bumpier, but assuming you buy a good shock/spring combo it will also handle better.

I know some people seem to like Tokico shocks/springs.
Lots of people seem to go witht he AGX/pro-kit combo, but the AGX arent a good lowering shock.
I am personally going to be riding a H&R/Koni setup hopefully next spring.

The shock/spring combo all depends on how low you want to go. You will only need a camber kit if you drop ~2.00" or more.

So how low do you want to go? Do you want to leave a few fingers worth of space between the tire and the wheel well? Do you want to have the car slammed?
