Oh look another cl9 lowering thread
So I've had my 2005 euro lux for a few months now and I am in the mood for making it look more personalised. I have done a crap load of reading around the joint about lowering these things and I'm fairly sure I have my head around what not to do.
Of course I would like coilovers but since my budget is as low as I can get it to be and I'm not actually fussed on handling I just want the looks as I'm never going to track the car. I like the idea of king springs right now, cheap and about a 60mm drop. Other springs seem to offer about 40mm which I dont think will be enough. So I figure I'll buy the springs and leave them off for a bit while i save up for some shocks aswell. On the eBay page for the king springs they suggest monroe GT shocks so I looked them up and they're about $500ish for all four which in my eyes is gold. So im looking at $800 in total.
So that's one plan or the other plan is save up a tad more and get h.drive coils for about a grand give or take.
Anyone have any experience with either of the springs or shocks above or maybe the combination of the two? Any thoughts would be nice but don't suggest more expensive shocks. If i were to be spending more than the $800 then i would just get the coils but I find it hard to spend $1000 on lowering my car...
Cheers anywho
