lowering?

I'm not looking to race my car, I mean I've got a CAI and the full RB is on the way, minor things here and there but what I'd like to know is whats better.

looks wise.

Is 2 inches too much to lower my 88 gxl, or should I stick with the 1 inch tien?
I do plan on buying some 18's as well.

I would only go for the one inch dude, i brought mine low and it gives me the ***** lowering them doesnt really do that much for the handling and makes them a real pain to go up some driveways/speedbumps. If your not going to race it there is no real point just takes paint off your front spoiler, just ask mine. Im going to get mine raised as soon as i have some spare cash. The cops love lowered cars too

If you lower it more than 1" you'll have camber problems which will wear out your tires real quick. If you do go lower there's ways to fix it, but it entails buying more parts, which most people don't want to do.

shoot if your gonna lower it and not race it cut the springs and have a **** ride..... but i also drive a slammed bug so shitty rides dont bother me any more.

but if you want your rx7 to be an rx7 put in decent coilovers or rsr springs at least. tains are too soft for my liking likewise with intrax (the spring i have on mine)

18's are way too huge for an FC, 17's will fill out the wheel wells perfectly and wont leave the car 6 inches off the ground.
