Lowering Springs

[jtmforever]

I've only seen posts where it is often stated that the lowest spring kit is 1.5". I want to lower the car at least 2 inches. What are my options?

air ride, sensor lowering.
cut springs.
Vogtland made a 1.8" drop i believe.
do the drilling thing where you move the mounting hole on the lower shock tab to lower the car.

etc etc.

You're going to lose allot of ride quality.

You can use thunderbird lowering springs with the strutmasters upper spring plate and rubber isolators for the rear instead of perches. That should definitely make it lower in the back. For the front you can redrill the shock assembly hole where it mounts to the lower control arm a little higher. With these mods and Vogtland 1.6 drop springs you should have at least a two inch drop. Don't buy cheap shocks, you'll hate the ride, believe me. Get the Tokico blues are illumina shocks at a minimum

o.p.: why do you feel like 1.5" won't be low enough? if you live in a hilly area, 2" may be too low....I can't imagine going lower than my 1.5", unless I lived in area with no hill or speed bumps

cut springs? only if they're tangential?

+1 on getting quality shocks...my SM front shocks suck arse
