Default I want to Lower my car, coilovers? springs? help?

I obviously want to make my car handle, and I want to lower my car, how will I go about doing this. I was looking at the Spohn coilovers on WS6. But it does not describe it very well. Can anyone else give me some insight? thanks guys!

Really depends on how much of a drop and how much you want to spend

Strano springs on Bilstein shocks tend to be the best combo for most people's budgets with a 1.25" or so drop. If you want to spend a little more, look into some Koni shocks. Whichever you choose, give Sam Strano a call - he's a sponsor and sells/uses/wins with all of the above products

I agree with Vin. Strano springs, the dampers he recommends for your budget, and UMI relocation brackets are a great start. I see you already have an aftermarket PHB. Is it adjustable? If it's not, you'll want to center your rear wheels after lowering, preferably with an adjustable UMI model.

Coilovers are nice but it's hard to beat a properly balanced and matched Strano setup for simplicity and effectiveness.

We can get you a package with our springs and Bilsteins or the Koni shocks. If you order the Koni shocks and springs together, you save $249.95, essentially getting you the springs for free. Our springs offer a 1.25-inch drop with a 550 linear front and a 160 linear dual rate rear spring, making them great for handling and the slightly stiffer rear has worked well in many drag racing applications, too.

Let me know if I can help.
