what is the best and cheapest way to do this?? adjustable coilovers? lowering springs?? i want her to hug the ground and look like a race car when i take curves.

 

cheapest way is lowering springs. eibach, racing beat, susp. techniques

 

How far can you lower it before it needs suspention mods to ajust the camber etc?

 

an inch or more will require the rear camber link. You might also need front camber plates. Just go for the full coilover kit :thumbsup:

 

Yes I would go with adjustable coilovers.

 

I wouldn't command coil overs unless you plan on corner balencing the car afterwards (more $$ and you gota find someone who does it) if not you might just make it handle worse. he also said the cheapest. normal springs are 1/2 the $$ of coil overs.

 

cut yo' springs man! -says the Riceboy

 

What about tokico HP struts? What springs would work well with them? I want like a 2" or more drop, will have to see when the rims are on the car. Do I want a progressive spring rate or linear and whats the difference? Thanks alot.

 

I wouldn't recommend dropping the car (actually rear end) that low.&nbsp Dropping the rear induces hideous amounts of negative camber in the rear, and a rear camber adjust bar can only take out about 2degrees of it.&nbsp This means it can take about 1.5" to 2" of drop in the back.&nbsp If you want it any lower, you'll end up with excessive negative camber which eats the inside tire edges and gives you poor traction during acceleration.&nbsp This is NOT a low-rider.&nbsp Don't do stupid things to the chassis which will just end up eating tires and stressing suspension components unnecessarily.&nbsp If you want super low drop, sell the FC and get a Honda...

I want to put some 17s on my car and want it to fit right is all. I don't want a "low rider." If it only takes 1/2" to make it fit right then thats fine.
