Budget and do you want this setup built for track use?

^^^What he said. There are a lot of factors missing here. Budget is the biggest. How low are you wanting to go? What are your goals?

A popular method of lowering here are the Swift springs. They are relatively cheap and close the wheel gap pretty good with the sport 19's. There are other springs that lower the car more but you would have to do some research here on the forums to get the amount of drop.

If you want adjustability you could always do coilovers. They are more expensive but most allow you to adjust the damping and height. You can get a set of BC coilovers for $1000. Thats the lowest I have personally seen. I havent really looked though. For tracking KW makes great quality coilovers. They are more expensive however.

Just do some research around the forums. There are a TON of threads asking this exact question and there are threads that offer more information than you would probably want to know about the subject lol.

i have around 1000 to 1500$ for it! i would like to drop like 2 or 3 inch... Air suspension is a good option?

No air suspension is not a good option, nor in your price range. I would look into Fortune Auto or Ksport coilovers in the price range you are in.

zguynate · 03-19-2012, 08:12 PM

Yeah negative on the air ride. I'm assuming you want to just go low for looks primarily. Go with some cheaper coilovers.

Is this a good deal?

That's not a bad deal. Questions like how many miles and if any of the struts/shocks are blown should obviously be asked. Those look like OEM type coilovers. I that's what you want that seems like a pretty decent price IMO for used.

Theres a guy selling Stance GR+ coils in the marketplace for 900 i believe. I'd take those over some crappy ksports.
