Lowering my car any suggestions

[Ayemaverick]

Right now I have the stock rims and new tires that I got when I bought the car but I wanna lower my car with some tein springs either 1.4 in or 1.2 in springs what would you guys recommend for me?also would I have to buy bigger rims and some low profile tires once I drop my car?

model year would be nice? I'm assuming 2000 and up

yea teins are very good. eibach, megan are all good if they make them for 7th gens. 1.4 in are not much of a drop and with 15in rims and tires there will still be a quite big fender gap so you'll be fine. you could probably do 18in rims with a lower pro tire with that drop to get it flush.

I ended buying some tanabe springs with a 2.2 drop in the front and 2.4 in the back I think I don't quite remember.

hey how are those working out for you? I was also considering some lowering springs, but i think over two inches would be a bit much. I live in New Hampshire so i might turn it into a snow plow haha. I also have 17's on there already so theyre a bit bigger than stock.

2in drop on 17s will be low so if you got a bunch of potholes and bad road conditions I would be careful. just take a ruler and see how far it will sit down. rolling and flaring the fender may help you get more distance for the drop.

I'm waiting for them to come in the mail in about a week or so but right now I'm sitting on the stock 15s then maybe upgrading them to 17s and roll my fenders if I have to.but I'm in San Diego i don't have to worry about snow lol

Haha yup that will do it. No snow there. but the only problem i have is that i dont have spring compressors to change them out myself, and ive heard that your front end needs an alignment after installation
