Some questions on FD

Is there any way to lower the car without getting aftermarket springs?

Do I really need to upgrade the stock front/rear anti sway bars even if the car is used as a daily driver?

Do I need a dual or single aftermarket oil cooler ? ( Is it highly recommended?)

1) No
2) No
3) Only if you're doing serious track stuff.

Thumbs up

You could also cut a few coils of your springs to lower the car, if you just want the look. I would get proper shocks/springs for a safe operation.

You could also let most of the air out of your tires if you want low profile look, but that doesn't make it safe or effective.

just fill your car with all the heaviest stuff you own, it will sit lower and look really awesome.
