2 inch drop on stock wheels...Good idea?
What's everyones opinion on dropping a max 2 inches with stock 15 inch saw blade wheels? I wanna drop my max, but I dont want it to look funny. If anyone has pics of what this looks like please share. Thanks.

Lowered car with stock wheels looks 10x better than a car with aftermarket wheels with monster wheel gap

AGX tend to die after a year... i can vouch for this cause i recently had both front struts blow out on me
But! from what i hear Illuminas can handle the Sprint drop the best.

just save up $900 for the D2 coilovers. Might as well if you're gonna pay $400 for struts and another $150 for springs...
