What are you looking to improve upon? Handling, ride, launching? Be very specific.

x2

Also lowering a car is a give and take that only you can decide if it is right for you. The two big pro's to lowering your car are 1) Improved handeling 2) Style, some people prefer the look of a lowered ride. The biggest con to lowering your T/A would be ground clearance (If you only drop a little, it might not even be a problem). So think about the roads in your area. Are there alot of speed bumps? Does your driveway have a smooth transition to the street or is it a steep one? Also, if you are running true duals, or would like to later on in the future, ground clearance becomes a bigger issue.

Hope this gets you started. Once you figure out what exactly you are looking to improve, I would suggest that you use the search function and look up "Sam Strano". Sam is well known for being a suspension guru and sells some great parts.

Goodluck

I have no complaints about the strano springs, they are great.
Search through the suspension section for a while, there are many many threads to read about things like this. When you have a very specific question, make a thread there.

Suspension wise, no.
