Springs/coilovers/dropping the car

Hi everyone, I was wondering what i can do to my car to lower it, and give it a nice drop where it is really lowered but at the same time wont mess up my ride nor void warranty.

Since you guys have experience.. what is the best way to do it? Best brand and which is worth the most for your money.


You guys are the pro's. Let me Know Wassup. Thanks.

Your best bet would be to read the sticky up top FIRST. Then post more specific questions afterwards; if you still have any.

i like the TEIN basics. they are cheap (only $800), and you can adjust the ride height to perfection

I'm a huge KW fan - they've always been reliable. Some C320s with the basics report "sagging" issues where the car REMAINS dumped even on the highest setting. I met with some of the reps at SEMA (basically made them aware of some 'issues') and they were willing to correct any problems by sending them lot#s, etc.

The TEINs are good bang for the buck, no doubt, - but I've been spoiled .

is SOLD
teins are good enough for just daily driving. there's no point in getting adjustable dampening if you're not tracking the car....i mean c'mon how often are you going to take a hard turn in city streets?!?! so it all depends on your driving style.

you can get h&r springs and koni struts.....h&r cup kit....tein basic coilovers....passing up the 1k mark are tein ss coilivers, kw coilovers, bilstein coilovers, and h&r coilovers.
