wonderin if it would be a good idea to lower my car?

[JERSEYLINCOLNKING]

i am new to this so sorry if i couldnt find a tread that is similar,but i just bought my 2004 ls a lil bit ago and i have 20s on it now tha im getttin rid of and am goin to put stock wheel back on and lower it,my question is did anyone have problems after the lowerin was installed and what are the best springs that are pretty good and low

Go with Sprint springs, you can usually find them on Ebay for $150, they are the best bang for the buck.

Be careful of advertised drop. My Eibach were advertised at 1" but actually dropped the car 1.3". I have to be very cautious when approaching things like speed bumps, and driveways.

I have the sprint springs and like them alot.... You have to take it a little easy on speedbumps and such.

I have Sprints and you have to be contious while driving, can bottom out on speed bumps, oh and with my Mach 1 spoiler it makes a real good snow plow anything above 3-4 inches, the ice is a bitch though

Lol at the mach one snow plow....

Well I can tell you that here in FL the speed bumps(MOUNTAINS) I bottom out as it is and I still have not lowered mine, (i will soon though) so you just gotta understand that the car will not have much ground clearance anymore so take that into consideration when thinking about how low you wanna go.

Are there alot of speed bumps in your daily adventure?, are there alot of steep driveways into business and homes? just think about it you dont wanna make the ls no fun to drive (which would be hard).....

I fully agree. The Eibach's are MORE than enough drop for me. Still very good ride quality, but the drop is more than enough.

I agree. My car looks much lower than their advertised drop.

so u guys think i should go for eibachs or sprints,and nycls8 i love ur car,it looks so nice

 

[Machspeed]

I've thought from time to time about dropping my 06, as I really like the look. However, in stock form I've bottomed it out over a good speed bump. With that in mind, there is something to be said regarding the statement, "form follows function".
