You need to learn how to drive better I've seen and driven many lower cars than yours with lt and 3" exhaust without too many problems. Just takes some getting used to.

it was bad. hard to work on. i couldet get under to change the oil. and it was extra low and ruff. you can be the best driver but if the cars low the cars low. your gonna hit stuff no matter how slow you go. if you like you can buy them and give it a try. let me know how they treat you (;

I like the stock look better than the lowered. This suspension does not have much movement and to lower the cars by removing some of the travel makes for a poor riding car.

What size rims do you have? 17" or even 18" fills the gap nicely and looks 10000x better than 16" rims. It also looks like in the pictures, the tires seem kind of low profile (I might be wrong and the shadows are playing tricks on me, but it just looks like they are lower profile in the pics)

there eibach springs. to put them on its gonna cost 800+ at a shop. to have stock ones put on it costed me 650 but my dads buddy did it for me so i got a little discount. just thought id warn you about the price. i think they drop a little more then 1inch i got the car with them on. i could send you some pics. they still look brand new. i had to take them off just because it was ripping the bottom of my car apart. you gotta be easy with them.
