depends on how low you go
if you dumped it, ofcoz you will have problem with the front lip
if you lowered it an inch or 2, you shouldn't have any problem

Sweet drops guys! Dropping my car might be taking priority over anything else haha.

What springs should I go with if I want to fill that ugly gap between the stock wheels/michellins. I want springs that will ride like stock and don't have a harsh ride. I have also been known to take corners rather tightly and I don't want any rubbing.

So, which would be the best springs?

Sportlines eh? Why shouldn't I think about it twice? What makes them better than Progress springs? Someone posted a review about Progress springs and said they felt like stock.

Anyone with sportlines want to chime in?

If a manufacturer says that it lowers the car by 1.3" that would mean after they have settled in a few days right?

i just ordered a set of sportlines...good price (not too cheap, not too expensive), Eibach is a great company that have been in the game for too long and people seem to be happy with them

Now, with a 1.4" drop front and rear.....

What would happen if I needed to carry 3 people in the back seat? Would I run into a problem? lol
