If you want the best handling possible, DO NOT fixate on how much the
car gets dropped! The previous owner of my car put on HÖRrible
springs that lower the car substantially, so it would be all
"slammed," and the thing handles like garbage! I have major problems
with oversteer, and every pothole feels like it is going to bend my
frame! I have had cars with stock springs that handled better. If you
want good tight handling, then dropping the car all the way down is
not the way to do it. If you want the car down 2" and don't care what
it will cost you in terms of handling, then say so, and don't worry
about anything but what looks the coolest.







The goal is to overcome the deliberate nature of the process.
