Default Wanna lower her but hava a ?

I want to lower her an inch and a half to maybe 2 inches if I get some coilovers will it kill my suspension? I have the sport suspension by the way.

Are you sure you mean coilovers? Coilovers is new suspension so therefore you cant hurt it. And coilovers are usually adjustable. Lowering springs put a lot of stress on the shocks so they can wear them out prematurely.

I would reccomend Coilovers, then you can adjust the drop to where you want it. With springs, your locked in to whatever drop they happen to give.

A decent set is about 1000. www.purems.com has some good deals on Koni, and H&R coilovers.

Your handling on the car will ROCK with coilovers. They replace the springs and shocks.
