Where did you take your car to get it lowered? How much is it, and was it worth it? | | | | | 05-05-2005, 05:03 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Tracy, California Posts: 473 |

HR sport springs and Bilstein sports. About 2" drop in front and 1.5" drop in back. Looks bad-ass with the 17" MM rims. __________________

Thanks for the info. That pic of the black Ti up there^^^^ pushed me to get the 17" on because i was goin to get the 18"s but didnt want to ruin the ride quality and wasent sure if 17" would look alright! i think im gonna go for 1.5" on the front too.
The rear cost me: - springs which were £30 for both on a 1.5 drop and £20 labour from a lad in the firebrigade! which is £50 for the lot. that is about $90!!! If you want to do it cheaper you can hire compressors for the springs from any plant hire place n wont cost you much - but need to know what your doin or you'll send the springs through the floor!!!!
Has anyone painted the brake callipers and drums? how does that look? | | | | |
