want lower the car, need suggestion~

just go for bilstein + eibach combo, best stuff if your not planning on changing height.

BUT consider that you will be paying big bucks if you want it lower or to raise , get wheels before you lower car. So Coilovers are prob the way to go but bigger bucks.

But also your budget is $500 so you only can get springs with that.

i would personally get sum buddyclub N+, unfortunately wont we within ur price range. its around $1600.

i decide the wheels already. i think i just replae my damaged one. and stick with my old set.
i think tein SS is enough for me, but Buddyclub N+ in my list as well.
i think it depense which one has cheaper one around.
im going to get second hand one anyway, and my budget just a mark. if i want replace my suspension, my budget gonna be around 1Q5.
i dont want drop too much, cuz my GF drive my car sometimes. that will be the case......:(

yea true, lend my car to dad last nite and found my bumper was popped out on the side again...........

SS would do if u aint going to lower much. but all i was trying to do was have zero gap from wheel to arc and the SS fails.

I was talking about Tein SS. The vendors on this site sell their products at a price they deem appropriate (1300+?). I have yet to see a used set less than a thousand dollars. Mind you I think you can get a brand new set imported for about $1100.

popped out?

scrapped lower lip?

my dad is too scared to drive the car now.

i have 2 fingers all round, and i cant drive straight out of driveway when i had 3fingers all round, my LAB is all scratched.

Anyways, i think bentusi should go eibach + bilstein or tein SS, my opinion anyhow.

lol yea popped out! the side under the headlight popped out! he said he forgot to go sideways and went straight onto the driveway... gg that im surprised he didnt get stuck lol
yea my lip is so scratched its like an emos arm!

hmm... hey i thought the kins springs isnt as good. I got pedders lower 1.5 all round... they are pretty good. Before i got the i asked ppl here n most reccomend the pedders over the kmac and king springs... tho the lowest u can go is 1.5 all round. i think i got it for around $500 i got it done at hm... i think its called undercar specialist on canterbury rd, near wiley park...PM me for me details if you want...
