Brabus/Renntek lowering springz or Pss9 coil overs will lower your car depending on how much money you want to spend!

wow, looks big. Im sure you can lower the back, but not too sure you can lower much in the front. You might have fender problems in the front if you lower it alot.

i say, drop it a bit with some springs and maybe a suspension kit make it smoother. throw on a bodykit and you will get that low look. the stock all around doesnt do those 20's justice

djlogix, I think you might need some spacers.

That car looks okay. The reason it's not fantastic is something you've already figured out. It looks like a SUV! Drop that a bit and perhaps get a kit and that'll be one majestic ride
