Default Slammed affect

Well Im a student and can't afford air suspension or coilovers. Im thinking of using lowering springs to give it the slammed affect on my car. Has anyone slammed their gs on lowering springs?

Well I'm going to go ahead and help you out. Springs will not really slam your car unless you plan on cutting them. On the other hand, there are many springs that will lower the car a good amount (Megan, Espelir, and Daizen have a drop of about 2"). Keep in mind that having a drop that much will more than likely require shocks. Just do a little searching and you will find more information

many people have used lowering springs to lower their GS'. a large percentage tend to gravitate towards coilovers soon thereafter.
