first, drill a hole 1 3/8 inch from the bottom of your damper(shock), once you do this the gas in the shock will be able to have less suspension travel but still good rebound (because there is still gas on top of the shock piston), second heat then cut 2 1/2 coils off of your stock springs, once you heat them the spring rates will increase (heat treating hardens the metal thus raising your spring rates) and removing 2 1/2 coils will lower the car more, and it should handle the way you want it to

Yeah your best bet is to read the stickies, read the build threads, and check the technical sections and stop making threads blindly without searching first.

Are you saying that's because they're all rednecks and Mexicans? That's a little derogatory if I do say so myself.

Also there's such a thing as going too low. Handling suffers greatly.

your definition of cheap and handles fairly well could mean s*** to somebody else.

Why don't you give us an estimated price on how much you want to spend. And what's your definition of super low?

By the looks of this thread, it seems like it will get locked soon.

So I guess another free post for me.

You should really try doing some research on your own. Are the new generations really this lazy?

Super low?





More on the serious side, Seriously get coilovers. I mean a friend of mine had cut megan springs on agxs set to their highest stiffness and it handled allright i guess but its not worth it.

Just remember there is really no cheap way to slam your car.

But seriously to the OP youd be surprised what some searching and looking around on google would do. You wouldnt believe how many people think about lowering their cars lol
