Default I NEED 2 lower my car plz HELP!!!

ok i have some chrome 245-35-20" wheels on my car and i was told it needs to be lowered!

NOW, i dont know ANYTHING about this process at all...BUT i do know that springs are cheaper than coilovers!!

i dont want any rubbing and i dont wanna mess my front end up with the bumpy roads but i just want a good enough drop so the car will look and sit nice!



Thanks!!

Your best bet is going to be the L Tuned set up. You can get the springs for 219 and the shocks for 169. I would also recommend the L Tuned Steering ECU which is 120. That will be your best set up and cheapest.

Yeah springs are cheaper but coilovers is the way too go. You can adjust your drop height very easy and you're not stuck with one height like coil springs

yes kia your 4x4 suv needs to be dropped bad the ltuned stuff is like 4 to 500 ?? but you cannot use drop springs on stock shocks cause it will just blow them out
