Lol dont worry bout fuel ecnomoy..with petrol prices these days it wont be going any lower.....lowering does not effect your fuel if it does its probably very minor like verry very very minor...
dude as they mentioned get your ass into a few cars with coilovers and then a few with eibach etc springs. you'll be giving up a lot of comfort. especially on speed humps and ditches in the road.
mate tell ya now..its not the same with u lower ur car, youll feel every bump on the road...but youll get over it cause it makes the car look sexy hahaha
liberty68 - no lowering a car definately wouldnt improve fuel economy. You might say possibly wind drag is reduced but nothing worth mentioning. I definately wouldnt install coil overs or lowered suspension if your main aim was fuel reduction. Wether you lower your car with coilovers or use lowered springs and shocks you will still have reduced ride quality but it depends what you look for in ride quality. Ive always had lowered cars with good suspension and I like having accurate feedback through my suspension set ups and I like a firm handling car. I found that I didnt like the way my Euro handled from factory, yes it was nice and floaty and felt like I was in an arm chair but i felt like it pushed the nose to hard through any decent corner. At the end of the day - different strokes for different blokes. If you want your car to look sweet and handle well and possibly would want to adjust the height again in the future to suit other mods (wheels/kit etc) then go coil overs. If you just want it to look better and take a slightly cheaper option, go springs/shocks. And if you just want it to be lower but handle exactly the same as it does now give up cause you will always sacrifice that comfortable lounge chair like ride quality if you want to look good
sweet any more opinions. i think i have enough to just run eibach with stock shocks i just don't want to have to re-buy shock later that will kill me..
guys are the stock shock god enough to handle eibach springs? i only want a small drop nothing major don't want to loose comfort.

After a few years, you'll find that the stock shocks will leak because you are running them beyond the shock travel range. So start saving up for some proper Bilstein shocks.
