Lowering Springs?

Ah, my first post without sniping someone else's.


Anyway, I have an '09 Max Sport, Premium, Technology with the factory 19" wheels.

It's odd that there is so much wheel gap, even with 19" wheels.

I'd like to lower the car about 1" all around without creating a harsh ride and using the stock struts.

Anyone know of some progressive lowering springs available that still keeps the stock ride (or close to it)?

H&Rs FTW bro! Eibachs would be a close second.

If you're running 20" wheels or smaller, these cars NEED to be lowered IMHO.

However, my 22s helped the car fill out and a drop isn't needed.

I noticed the H&R Springs lower the car 1.4" and 1.3". I'm not looking for a "slammed" look, just to fill the wheel gaps a little bit.


Will that much of a drop be too low?

I know this is a dead topic, but I'm looking for a DIY on how to remove the front and rear suspension. I searched but couldn't find any related topic. Appreciate it.
