Cool Lowering SC4

Hey I was wondiner who has lowered their Sc400 1". Do you bottom out lots? How does the handling compare, how does the ride comfort compare? About shocks, is it a good idea to get new shocks and what are the differences if you use the stock shocks. Thanks.

past posts... It's like prego -- It's in there!

I don't have my car lowered, so I'm not gonna pretend like I know what it feels like, check out the link... they've done it, they know what it's like. (fun in corners I'd guess!)

yo... i did eibach springs and tokico struts
works great.......i love it ....
bottom out ever not and then going up a steep driveway or something.......but not usually while driving...
if i had to take a steep driveway....do it at an angle
works well for me

performance is huge....... makes a big difference
and i enjoy the looks tremendously

but check out past forums if you want proof behind my word
peace

If you're only putting in lowering springs, that'll wear your shocks down a lot quicker so it is recommended that you do it right and replace the springs and shocks together unless you want to constantly replace them both prematurely. Whoa, run-on
