Nice pick up bro but +1 on the coilovers Just cause you can adjust your height like Mariano just stated.

I’ve seen many conservative members change their taste as they hang with us over time.

That's what I said, slam it for show . . . Each year for 5 years i dropped my car futher and further and it has never been raised back up since.

As for coilovers, take your time, do your research and let us know if you need feedback on your findings. TEIN CS come to my mind. Very smooth ride, but drop is limited to about 2 inches max.. I wish one of the local LS experts would chime in, but he is currrently in Japan.

Great choice of wheels! I have Nat's wheels on my car now. As for suspension I too am doing springs for now but I think in the future i plan on doing coilovers with Exotic Cup air suspension.

We've got several sources for hook up on coilovers, depending on the brand, so whatever you do, check with us before buying. Wait for HyperUSF to come back from his trip to respond with his thoughts.

honestly m starting to kinda think about coils now!! lol but im afraid of loosing the ride!!! iv been research the magen coils but idk net

Bro....you gotta ride in my car! As low as I am it's not bad so if you're not gonna SLAMMMM it, then you'll be cool! I have the Megan LP's and you can adjust the dampening also. TRUST ME, you won't regret it!!! You gotta pay to play...plus you can raise it back to stock height if you don't like the height.
WE CAN HELP YOU LOOK PIMP!!!!!!!!
