Get a heavy set girlfriend. Problem solved, and you can take her to McD's

Buy springs for like $250 and install them yourself!

springs or coilover... with most coilovers you'll even be able to add some height =P

Just rode on Ron's Nismo with swift springs. The ride is actually SOFTER and its lower...? Wtf? It's a softer ride than my Nismo lol.

At first feel it seems softer but it's not when you start to drive hard. The Nismo springs are linear and harsh as hell and going over a slight bump will jar your kidneys. The Swifts are kind of like a progressive/linear combo in that they ride soft (like the Sport Z) around town, but get tight when you drive hard (Like the Nismo). So yes they feel softer but they actually are stiffer springs than the Nismo. They are the best springs out there!

or just get swift springs and increase handling at the same time?

Honestly, let the guy go ghetto on his car. I mean, the worst he could do is blown shocks and dragged his car butt all over the street with camber/toe all blown to hell.

I mean, not all of us have $30,000 worth of life savings blown or have parents throw away money for a new car.

Really? I paid for this car on my own. And I'm not trying to go ghetto, I asked a simple question and got an answer. Don't be a ****.

no but seriously... your only options at lowering the car would be springs or coilovers... anything else would compromise the performance of your car.

Swifts? I should have money in 3 weeks, I just bought Stillen G3 intakes and Stillen HFC's and a number of other ~$100 things. So I kind of spent a bit more than I anticipated after just buying the car.
