Lowering questions
What's the best suspension to run for a good drop and still maintain a smooth ride? Also what will be the best size wheels to go with? I have a 4matic so staggered isn't possible... Or is it? All feedback is needed and appreciated. Thanks

only wagons have self-leveling. There are only a few options on 4-matics. Lorinser makes some springs but they are not cheap, thread. The other option is buy lowering springs for the rear and just cut coils on the fronts. There are several threads on the topic.
