Thanks, that was what I meant Lisa. That is a great display of your patience. I am going to order one really soon and my car is already lowered. I think you will like it lowered if you dont mind driving slow through dips and up and down steep driveways.

thats the thing...i dont think it would be a good idea for me to lower it. I love the look...i just know myself..and i know it'll make me sick to my stomach if i ruin it. so..im really thinking about what it is i need to do w/ the shocks..or springs...or whatever they call it.

i told myself that i wont be modding for awhile since i did so much this month. its been a wild month... seeing all of ur guys' awesomes cars gave me the itch to do so.

i bought the wheels...body kit..'06 tail lights..hood chrome piece..redo clear bra..and i bought a whole of zaino products today (b/c of teemans3 super duper shiney car). this is a lot for a month...and now, i got to think about suspensions???

i really should stay off this forum...it'll keep me from getting the itch.

but thanks guys..for all ur help.

it won't help you on the scrapping. to help?
- raise the car higher
- drive more carefully

if you want a super stiff ride where basically it doesn't flex, you not only need very stiff shocks, you need super stiff springs as well. but that usally means shorter springs as well to lower the car

don't make it too complicated lisa

to be honest Wald makes one of the lowest kits available. I think maybe you should buy a different front lip since you know yourself so well. Getting suspension like the Tein CS that are a spring/shock combo really isnt going to help when you go up a steep driveway or hit a pothole and it dips down alot. In the end I think your probally gonna end up cracking the lip, this isnt just a problem for you I have crack many kits before its the price you pay for being low. If I were you sell off that front lip and buy another one. And if you take my advice and sell the lip make sure to put me at the top of your list

Ya, don't listen to henry. He's the one who convinced Teeman to go Wald too and Tee's just itching to show off all the Wald gear at the next norcal meet.
