Even if you're on stockies, like I currently am, lowering is a MUST mod IMO. For the improved stance (car looks waaay better now), the sportier ride, better handling, etc.

Considering how much I paid for my Tein stech springs ($180 on eBay) and for lowering ($290, which included the "toe-ing" process so I wouldn't need an alignment and installing the steering damper), I am definitely pleased with the results!

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of this forum is in agreement on lowering. unless you plan on staying stock, u gotta lower. that my next step as well, even though i will be lowered on stock 17's for the time being.
