Want to lower my car..........which set up??? I have a 2000 T/A convertible with 18x9.5 Y2K wheels. I'm wanting to lower the car but dont know which brand/set up to go with. Also was wondering if i needed to change the factory shocks. I am wanting to keep my ride as good as I can and also want to keep from rubbing.

Re: Want to lower my car..........which set up??? most springs drop between 1"-2" it varies ob brand but if you want the spring with the least drop its BMR which is 1" still looks good though but i havent heard any feedback on the handling.

Re: Want to lower my car..........which set up??? I have hotchkis as well and I love them too!! They make the Y2k wheels look sweet. I'll attempt to post some pics tomorrow.

Re: Want to lower my car..........which set up??? I have Eibach Pro kit... Bilstein SLP's, MBR rear control, Panhard, Sway fron & Rear, and a torque arm. Mine sucked until I did the SLP's, now FANTASTIC.

Re: Want to lower my car..........which set up??? Yeah - I have to admit - I changed everything except shocks and I am impressed by the look, but the ride is far from acceptable. I'm sure it has to do with the shocks though. Keep in mind if you use the hard-mount panhard and LCA's you get some noise... wish I would have gone with poly-mounts...

Re: Want to lower my car..........which set up??? I have the Eibach sportlines and it sets to low for headers and to low for 18x9.5 wheels.I'm scraping quite a bit also.
I thought you should know.
Good luck.
