hi.. ive got a 93 dc2 vtir which is on 17' sitting high on std springs n shocks.....
i would like to lower it about 1.5 inches... do i need to change my shocks?? or can i just put king springs or sumfing like that??... ive been gettin different oppinions from ppl... sum1 said its fine... anotha said that it's fine for a little while but the shocks will slowly leak and shit itself??.... i don't wanna spend a $1000 to lower the car i jus wanna buy springs.. but would my shocks shit itself and costs me more in the long run????.. HELPPPP PLZZZ......

in long run. change ru shocks. ur shocks are 12 years old now. i think they are due for a change. U might save money now but u might have to fork out later on. so do it all now and save urself the hasssle later.

u mean get adjustable shocks???? like koni yellow or so???... is stock ones cheaper??? would stockies stand the 1.5' lowering.... damn performance shocks are expensive ey...

ur stock shocks im sure after 12 yrs of driving need replacing. doesnt have to be koni adjustibles. hanson on these forums can get u greatd eals with shocks and springs.

if your not willing to spend cash you cant do anything to a car. If you really want it lowered whatever method you choose itl cost you. Your better off getting new shocks, it might cost a bit more but theyre worth the extra money and if you get nice ones you can easily adjust the height any time
