I honestly don't think it'll be as low as you think. We could always get the sawzall out and take a couple coils.

That's what I was thinking to. Cut a coil then see what it looks like.

Hopefully you're just gonna use that method to figure out what springs you need. Once you cut a spring you kill the spring rate so you get bouncy bouncy bouncy everywhere you go. But, I'm sure you know that. Either way my vote is to go for an adjustable setup. It def costs more but the peace of mind of having your car lowered to exactly the height you want is worth much more than money.

BTW, I didn't like those rims when I first looked... but I think they're growing on me, especially if the car was dropped.

Very cool, I'll have to look int these. I like them a lot for some reason .

Damn, I just looked them up, $560 for the set of four?!?! Is there a catch? Bad quality or something? That seems really cheap
