Thanks man...

To answer your question...I don't think it is suggested to drop 4matics, like no one I know makes lowering springs for it (edit: wait I think lorinser did/does but its a very special order item from Germany). But, anything is possible if you really want to Not worth it in my book but thats cause my car is actually a family hauler!
