What's it costing you to lower? I'm getting a set of 19"s for my car and I think it will look funny without a drop once they are on.
What do you all pay on average to get er done?

yep Darwin cut a half a coil in the front and im running a number 1 spring pad in the rear, drop is dead even and with 19s i tuck jus enuff in the rear and sit right on the tire in the front. ride quality didnt change much, half a coil doesnt really alter the spring rating in a noticable way other than looks.

OR you could buy the springs from the state and let any shop install it for you.

he usually reccommends half cut coil in front so theres no gap, leave the rears alone. i jus switched to the smallest spring pad in the rear to lower it as much as possible without chopping the rear springs. my 17s are tucked a little right now.

Update! I still haven't lowered the car... I ended up getting 18's.
Apparently I need stronger springs because of my 4Matic. Heavier tranny etc... H&R makes some for my 4Matic apparently I SR90 is getting some.
Anyways, I've got a few other mods' so it will have to wait until the summer, but if anyone can confirm this info it would be great.
Thanks!
