To do that, you're going to have to change the front clip too. ;)

Well yeah you could do that but be careful what you cut. I Heard taking the top layer of the coil will drop it 2.5 - 3 inches

well i only want to drop it about an inch either camaro69 or gorn said that theres some rubber in the rear i can take out to get an inch there

There's an idea. I'd like to drop mine too but I'm not sure of the best way to do it without buying a lowering kit.

well i just got the rear done idk what it looks like yet bc the car is still in the air looks like i need new struts in the front there both about dead leaking and sht looking at the rubber pieces i pulled outta the rear ill deff get an inch but im afraid that either ashley will be sitting in the garage for about a week untill i can get new struts (hopefully adjustable) or drive her with the back an inch lower like i have 3 ppl in the back lol

Haha nice! I put a couple sand bags in the well of my hatch to lower my rear end about 1.5" Now the back of the car sits as high as the front of the car lol
