I vote lowering the car to improve the performance handling, for the price of a body kit/painting you could lower the car on EiBach or Progress and still have enough money left over for (if you don't already have them) a rear anti-sway bar, endlinks, KYB-AGX 8-way adjustable rear shocks and a FUSB and probably still have some money left over...

OK thats my .02cts

I dropped mine on Progress and I don't regret it. The handling is out of this world. The ride is even. It looks amazing.

Let us know what you decide of course.

Definitely lower it, if you just put on a body kit you will still have the huge gap in the front and it will look like crap!!

I have Eibach, zero problems and they handle great. I will admit the roads down here in Southern Maryland are smooth and well maintained however IMO the key to having a smooth feel and tapping performance handling was also due to staying with a stock 18 size tire. Less shock generated through the suspension if you hit a pothole and not too worried about bending my rims...

On a side not, if progressive were made for the Max back when I installed my Eibach, I'd have no problem having them on my ride as well... Good luck
