Sup Fellas...
I just got 18' Zenetti Rims just installed w/ Falcom tires...the handling does feel a bit different...not bad just different. The front end especially, feels like it rides higher than the rear. I think about a 1 1/2 to 2' drop will help not only the look of the car but the ride also but I dont know what I need to do?
Do I need struts and springs or just struts or just springs? Do I need to drop the front and back? I like the way the rear looks already. How much do the good struts or springs cost for our car? What are the best brands to buy?
Help a brova out?!?!
PS...can someone tell me how to make a sig? Please?

congrats...there is a lot of debate about which springs are better. eibach and h&r are the two getting the most attention. tokicos are your best bet for shocks at the moment although a lot of people are running stock shocks with lowering springs.
to do a sig, go to your profile and insert the url of your picture or type whatever you want.

Where can I order?

Eibachs won't get you there, and Sprints/H&R's will come close. Check the Parts List thread for places that sell #1 and #3. I saw a link to #2 in the Sprint thread.

Yeah...my Zenettis are cool I think. Alot of people stop me and pull up to me to compliment me. I'm gonna post a few pics when I have everything done!
How much of a drop can I expect from each brand of spring? From what I understand, Sprint gives you about 2 inches, Eibach and H&R give you about 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop. I had a couple of people look at my car and tell me that I'd need no more than about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop on my front end. Does anyone know how much a drop you get from each brand?

I have an SE....I only want to get the front end lowered a little bit. I may even just cut a bit off the stock springs. But If I get new springs, I need to know if Eibach will lower it 1 inch 2 inches, which ones do what?
