Default Lower my SC400

One of my good friends is in a car crew, and they all have dope cars, that are lowered and have turbos and exhaust. So, it made me wanna make changes to my SC400, i know a lot of people mod their SC400s. I just bought Kyowa Treks, my tires are Falkens Ziex 235/45/R17, and now i wanna lower my car. I'm pretty sure my friend is paying 118 bucks to have his lowered, he bought the parts for 68 bucks and his friend is charging him 50 to lower. How did he manage that?

what does he drive, search around and gather more info before you attempt anything, if your going to lower your SC your going to spend more then what your friend spent, unless you find some kind of deal somewhere for a set of coils or lowering springs
Good Luck

first off, There are many different ways to lower a car. Springs, Coilovers, Airbags, or Cut springs.

Secondly, you should decide how low of a drop are you looking for? 1"? 2"?

Once you decide that, do some research and decide which method you gonna use for urself.

Get a decent set of coilovers IMO

I definitely would not recommend cutting the springs, the ride is less than desirable when my friend tried it.

He drives a 97 Acura Integra, and I've been looking at some coilovers, cheapest i found were like 800 bucks, and i dont really wanna pay that much, but if i have to then i will. i have like 2300 bucks to spend on it, and more then likely i will. I just wanna lower it, but make sure its good.
