    then you really answered your own question. no money just want looks get some kings or somethign similiar

    king lows or super low - $250
    koni + eibachs (performance orientated) 800+500 = $1300
    koni + king low or super low(appearance with adjustability) 800+250 = $1050

    or cheap second springs for 100 or 2

    people say that using lowering springs will shorten the life of your stock shocks...which is true lol but if you aint got money just chuck the springs on and wait till you can afford some shocks..

    and so you know approx 40 bux a corner to install shocks and springs or either or but you can DIY which is free + time

    Lower springs is the best budget but it will affect the stock shocks.

    As per above, Kings would be the best for the budget-conscious peeps. I've had mine for more than 2.5yrs and have had no problems. Yes, also mentioned and just want to reinforce that it would be wise to save up for new shocks as well. KYBs would be good which are not that expensive and I have heard GREAT things about (try searching this forum, there are a couple of threads).

    but dont worry, unless you're gonna be driving on rough roads all the time, everyday, every week, even if u leave your stock shocks with lowered Kings for a year or so, u should be right. just make sure that u are careful going over humps and dodging potholes...common sense.

    Hope that helps your decision.

    Guys, please cut the spam.

    Get king springs. When ur shocks blow, get replacements. That way, u can stretch out the amount of time u have with your cashflow.

    If u take it to the shop to have it fitted they will sort that out for ya,cause it depends on the conditions of ya shocks...
    I told em' I wanted it as low as I can without it rubbin'
    This was the result,nothing Big but a nice drop.I like the look if it was lower at the rear,but I'm too paranoid about attracting thieves.i've had cars stolen b4....This way it wont attract em'.

    You can change the shocks later no probs
    That's what I'll be doing too.
