Guys I want to drop my car

But what do I have to do?

I know I Hvae to buy springs (not coilovers, too expansive)

But, which springs are the best in terms of ride comfort and stability for 19 inch wheels?
Thanks

i think you should look into the market place and get coils... or save up some more and buy coils.. dont waste your time and money searching for springs every time u wanna drop your car (trust me, i speak from experience) just get it done right and get something from the market place with low miles for 600 bucks.

is that coilovers?

ugh, i don 't want my car to be really low. I want to be able to drive going 40mp at a speed bump that says 15 LOL (just kidding)

but i don't like scraping at all and it's just difficult for me

Nice... so eibach sportline springs in the front, and teins in the back (350z) version and my car will look like yours right?

are you on 19s or 18s?

just get coupe and z springs, its been mentioned so many times on this forum.

the drop i had with coupe and z springs is really not that different than the one i have setup now on my coilovers. fairly even....if you wanna do it on the cheap.
