i want to lower my vtir.

can i just get springs? and get the car lowered an inch or two? or should i save and get a whole suspension system?

i have heard that getting only springs is ok, but shortens the life, and is not good for your shocks etc. is there any truth to that statement?

i dont drive hard and i dont take corners hard, or go OPing hard etc, so yeah, thats a bit of how i drive. maybe that will effect the life?

thanks!!!
