Default I need to lower my car. Suggestions?
Like the title says. My car looks like it's ready to go offroading with the new wheels and tires, so my next mod will definitely be lowering the bitch.
Recommendations?

See what I mean?

Springs , lower profile tires. I got a eibach prokit and KYB's on my 89 iroc that I like the stance. I also eliminated the rear isolators

How much are you trying to lower? Are you after that slammed, aggressive look? I run 18's on all four and have BMR springs. Very happy with them.

strano/koni's. You will get that answer more than any other. As mentioned do a search. It's talked about at lease half a dozen times a week on here.

Strano/Koni have used that setup on 2 cars now and love it. Dont forget your panhard bar.

SLP Bilsteins and Hotchkis springs. Good setup for the money.
