Yeah that's why i am still debating whether i should still lower or not. Plus i live near Philly, PA and there is a ton of pot holes. So i prob wont, but most likely get wheels instead. Thanks for the tip

well if you lower it the right way you wont be slamming your car everywhere i scrape and throw sparks but thats because my frame is about an inch and a half off the floor, and i have pretty good suspension so my right is very comfortable. if you guys want a normal drop, just drop it on decent springs and struts, if you want to go low then you get coilovers, it mainly all depends on whats your preference but if your on a budget and want to drop your car then dont do it till you get more dough. with a good strut/spring set up it will run you about 500, a coilover set up is ususally 950-1500

Thanks for the info, no doubt that if you get a good setup than def the ride will be good, but another reason why i dont want to get it is, I have a lot of family members that i give rides to school and pick them up. Usually with a packed car, so it would be even lower. and i dont want to deal with it.
