Default Lowering ideas

ive been thinking about installing a lowering kit and other suspension parts (LCAs, f/r sways, panhard). im not entirely sure how low i want to lower it, and im not sure what brand to buy. just wondering what you guys have and how low they are. now im not looking to "slam" it, just lower.

go with strano's 1.2 drop springs and some good shocks. look over sams site and if you are going to order from him give him a call and he will point you in the right direction.

I have a set of gabriel shocks and they are pretty stiff. I have UMI lca's,torque arm, bmr strut tower, and lakewood panhard. I'm about to get 35mm front and 22mm rear sway bars. Can't wait for autox season Check my build thread to see pics of the suspension

I have some Summit 1.5" lowering springs and a UMI strut tower brace, but I haven't installed either yet. I'm gonna wait for new shocks before installing the lowering springs.
