Hey guys, i'm gauging interest in lowering the max for a better ride & handling, etc. I don't know what wheel spacers are, difference between coilovers and when do you need struts, etc., all that other stuff. Could any of you give me a quick crash course in lowering the max? My goal is for a better ride and handling, although lowering it to fill the gap would be

I have an '03 TE w/ the stock 17" TE wheels on there that I don't plan on swapping out anytime soon. I have a buddy that owns a wrecker service and a shop so hopefully he'd be able to help me install them.

Thanks y'all

-Progress are the lowest springs you can buy if ride & handling are your main concerns. Even Progress is considered too low by many people. Also get adjustable shocks in order to properly match the dumping force with you springs rates.


-Coilovers will give you better handling, you can lower your car as low as you want as long as control arms aren't in a 90 degree position. You can also adjust your ride height on most coilovers. Suspension travel is no longer an issue.
Drawbacks to coilovers: very firm ride and reliability problems with even the best coilovers.

-Wheel-spacers can theoratically increase your cornering speed but I have never seen anyone using wheel spacers for practical reasons, only for looks. They also put more stress on you suspension and increase unsprung weight.

 

just going to say the same thing. Housecor's website is great.
