I dunno about moar low in Fargo lol. Though if you got coilovers, you could crank them down in the summer and crank them back up in the winter. Two things:

1. If you're gonna go lower, I suggest getting an upgraded skid plate, because you WILL hit things.
2. Going as low as Aledelic or Krip without adjusting your control arms to compensate will grind up your tires. Just a thought.

Hey,
Here's mine..



I lowered it to fit 17inches and the take out the gap :P
Anyway, the whole job cost around 1.3k CAN currency, because the shocks, springs and several other things how to be change.. I could look up with the receipt if you want details..

yeah sports springs from h&r wont drop you much but the ride will be great if you go with racing springs H&R handling will be like day and night is what jeremy (IMTHEDEVIl) have said about the racing springs personaly i would go with racing springs

Yeah im looking at the racing spring and they say they will drop your car 1.9 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. with this drop do you think i will have to adjust the control arms?

probably a little. I believe hiwords is running lowering springs on an otherwise stock suspension setup, maybe he'll chime in here

yeah. another thing i was wondering about is with putting in these racing h&r springs, will my car bottom out like crazy and if so is there something i can do to prevent that with getting coilovers or new shocks.

hiwards has the racing spring and actualy jeremy was basing the day and night thing from hiwards car cause they live close by if there is a adjustment for those springs its very little its not that much of a drop i believe it will be finger length between the wheel and the fender
