How far should I lower my car?

[n43210]

Im not sure how much to lower my car. I have 17 inch chrome rims. I dont want it to be to low. just enough to bridge the gap between the wheel and the body. also to give that aggressive look so all the **** burners stare as i drive by. Any suggestions or pics that would be much appreciated. thanks

Well, I have 18's.....and I have H&R's ~ The height seems to be perfect when its settled. Right now they lowered my car roughly 2 inches. Looks good, and I dont bottom out every time I pull out of a driveway (I still have to be really careful). If you want a bigger drop, go w/ intrax....and less of a drop, eibach. If you want some pics PM me. Good luck!

go with either intrax or h&r's. either one will give you a good stance and eliminate that ugly fender gap.

I have 17s on my car too and I got the Eibach's. Personally, I would have liked it to be lower, but I did notice a large improvement in the handling. If you're looking to close up the fender gap, I would probably go Intrax or H&R.

Here's a pic to give you an idea of the Eibach drop w/ 17s.

I've got H&R on stock 16's and never really bottom out. I am looking to get 17" rims, should be a nice matchup!

I'm going to get intrax, and cut the top coil off :)

i got an extreme drop i got eibachs with 1 and a half two coils out i love it its so low ,i love it the back wheel even tucks under the fender

I have the Eibach's and I think they give the perfect balance of height and looks. I would not want to go much lower since I drive on the highway there tends to be debris everywhere.

My 2 cents.

i guess its personal preference, but i love my h&r's. maybe a little bit more or of a drop in the back, but the front gives a great stance.

i was about 3 hrs from putting intrax on my 94. till some moron thought the brake = the gas. anyways, id suggest intrax to really close that gap up. im gonna get them before i even get my rims.

Ok i appreciate everyones opinion. Im probably going to go with H&R 1.6 front and 1.4 Rear. Next up is rotors. thanks everyone

I was wondering if you could tell me how the stock wheels look with the h&rs cause im getting new shocks and either eibachs or h&rs and was worried eibachs with stock wheels wouldnt lower my rear end much cause it sits alot higher than most gagts for some reason. I have a 2000. But i have a steep driveway so i dont know.....

If u could post a pic that would be great.

dont know if u can tell or not, but thats h&r's with stock wheels. same size as gt's. back end sits a little higher then front, but i can deal. o and kyb struts too.
