I just got my 17x7's on my car, and it makes me sit a bit higher, and I feel like I'm driving a monster truck, and I desperatly need it lowered. What is a good, cheap brand I can go with to get this done?

good and cheap don't usually go together.i would recommed the lowest offering from Tein.i think they are called "Basic" coilovers.

He didn't say he wanted coilovers, and depending on his rim's offset (which is probably high) coilovers would probably cause some clearance issues.. springs is probably a better bet...the Tein S-Tech is decently priced, and so are the Suspension Technique set ($178ish)

Cool, thanks. By the way, I think the rims are +35

Back in the 80's, when the Fall Guy was a cool show, a buddy of mine had a replica Chevy Silverado with the chevy hi-lift kit, kind of like the one Lee Major's drove. Riding and taking left and right turns was hell raising. So much body lean.

and by the way if your looking for shocks for those s-techs or whatever you decide on, kyb agx is calling you out...so many people have them because theyre proven to work real good with the springs she mentioned
