Oh it's not that I'm trying to skimp on money. I just wanted to keep the car as virtually "stock" as I could. If it was about the money I wouldn't be going S/C here in a few months

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

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.
