Re: Lowering Options? You lower the car by replacing the springs with aftermarket sport springs like, Eibach, Bilstein, Etc.....
If looks are the main concern, you can keep the stock shocks (if they're not worn out), but it would be a good idea to relace them with a sport shock, like Bilstein.
Here's a shot of a 2000 WS6 with the Bilstein shocks & springs.
If you would like purchasing info on the Bilsteins, please email me.

Re: Lowering Options? So how much am I looking at spending to do it RIGHT. I don't want to buy the most expensive parts, but I don't want to hurt my cars performance either. This project will be for looks but NO appearance mod is worth hurting performance.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Re: Lowering Options? I would say $700-$1000 to do it RIGHT meaning $400-$500 for shocks and $250 for springs. You can install them your shelf. but you will need a shop to compress the front spring to mont the shock! when just drive it to the local shop for a alignment.
