What to do what to do, cut springs? ZOMG!

Okay so I just lowered my car about two weeks ago on vogtlands...my rear is perfect but the front still sits to high..I don't like it...should I cut the fronts a little or spend more money on a new front set which I don't really wanna do.. Also I'm running 245 all around and am worried about rubbing in the fronts if I go moarrr loww

Hate to say it, but should have took that money you spent and put it towards coilovers...

I just dont get why people dont just buy coilovers to there is no complaining about how low it is or isnt...

Pretty much for the same price as lowering springs and a nice set of shocks is just under what you pay for coils....

Yeah I have Vogtlands on my 02 with GR2's. The back is perfect but front sits a bit high.

I read somewhere its because the 6 speed tranny weighs less?

Anyways Im going back to stock springs cuz the ride is tooooo bumpy and rough for a daily driver

I feel like the ride is too rough. I can feel EVERY single bump. And the big ones make me cringe..

There are certain bumps on the highway where the entire front of the car makes a loud thump and everything in the car shakes. Like the coins in the ashtray and the cans in the cupholders almost jump up momentarily. Its like a momentary mini earthquake in the car lol

One of the struts might be blown... Ive only had em for 6k miles tho..

This site could really use a search bar. Maybe if it had one people wouldn't try to thread jack. We should also do some stickies about mods for our cars, then maybe we won't get numerous threads on "what mods should I do to my grandmother's old maxima." What a forum this would be if we could get these magical things...
