Newbie here....just picked up my 2000GS3000 plat. ed.

I put on 20x8.5 with 245-35-zr20

I would like to lower the car some....HOW low can I go?
I would like to lower it without screwing up the camber....how low can I go and what springs should I use/stay away?

I see H&R makes some, Eibach...any others or ones I should stay away from?

Thanks guys!!!

C,

Diesealman on board also has 20s w/HRs, and he likes the set up a lot. HR ~1.5" is a bit more drop than the eibachs ~1.2", but still clears everything. these two are your best bet.

if you would like to get the perfromance shocks at the same time to save you install + alignment cost down the road, let me know via PM box below. i can get you a set of bilsteins to your door for $425.

What about springs? anyone get good deals on H&R? Also is there any camber problem with H&R? I don't want to eat up ruber.

C,

HR is ~275-285. either tirerack or your local store should sell them at this price. D-man has the same set up w/ no problem, and he just loves the ride w/new bilsteins.

C, as gs4will stated, the H&R's w/ bilstein combo is an awesome combo. I didn't need any fender work nor did any rubbing occur. Its just plug and play.
