how much should i lower my car

I have extra weight in the trunk. On the stock springs it sits lower in the back. will using spring with a larger drop in the front then in the back make the car sit better.

I say go with Sprint springs 1.8"....they drop the front lower than the rear, that'd be perfect fror you probably. I had sprints on my car and loved the look.

Just yank the coils. It will be low and ride great too.






















[captain obvious]don't yank your coils, its just a joke. get some sprints. they rock [/captain obvious]

buy lowering springs..put it in the front first..since you have junk in the trunk...drop the car and if it sits even then dont put the lowering springs in the back if you dont care about ride quality...
