H&R's are available so far and I think Eibach has something coming, if not already.

so I know lowering your car makes the G look really good, and im pretty sure the handling would improve too, right? am I missing anything other than that?

I dont really know much about lowering your car, but doesn't there have to be a bad side to it, too? im curious because I dont know

Yes, the downside to lowering is you'll eventually need new shocks if you drop it too much, clearance issues, i.e. driveways, speed bumps etc, and you might need a toe and camber kit to get the car back in spec so you don't have uneven tire wear.

I lowered my last G and eventually it just became a PITA.

from what i have seen the h&r's are for the old model. but yet, fit the new models suspension fine. would this mean full damper kits for the old model would fit this one?


i am picking up the H&R's off of ebay this weekend!

I have been investigating for myself and discovered Eibach has released a kit for the 07.
I believe their PN is 6383.140 for the mild drop kit.
