Hey guys, I was wondering what I should do to lower my car. The back isn't too bad, but the front is too high, as shown in the picture. I'm currently in school and not working, just living off centre-link so I'm looking for something not too expensive that will also give me my desired look. I also intend to change my wheels to 15 X 8 Axis OG's in the near future, in case that might have an effect on anything. As you may have figured, I'm not really in the know with cars just yet so any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Used springs might set you back $150-200, see if you can just get some fronts.

Don't be one of those noobs who buys coilovers just because they want to lower their car.

I have a set of shocks already with lowering springs on them for sale if you keen. straight swap no need to play around with spring compressors and shit, can just change the fronts to even it out or change all 4

How much of a drop will I get from the springs, and are they difficult to change?

2" front 1.5" rear, i can change the fronts in about 30 minutes, very easy. Rear requires 2 people (one must be fat to stand on the rotor lol)

my dc2 height looks exactly like this lol. i bought a set of teins s tech springs which lowers the car 2.5 at the front and 1.7 at the rear which i think when installed will fix the problem with a perfect height. getting it installed tomorrow. cant wait for the result! :D

Nice, mind posting up some pics after you get them installed? So I can see if that's the kind of height I'm going for :)

when considering lowering springs, make sure you get some aftermarket shocks to go with it so your stock shocks wont blow lol.

Was hoping to get $240 for the set of springs and shocks. I'm not that keen on installing for ya cos shit does go wrong sometimes. Bolts get rounded and shit, especially if the suspension has been changed before. I've done my mates springs and he had to take it to mechanic to get a rounded bolt off so he drove on 3 lowered corners for a week haha

tein s tech is pretty low at the front, and the rear is way too high, making the front of your car point down and more scrapage!
