Telling you buddy (to OP) that lowering your car correctly isn't going to hurt the DD in it at all. It looks so much better.

OK, i think im gona go with some H&R springs possibly. If i got those bullitts im pretty sure they wouldnt match my front wheels perfectly anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

Other than springs, what else would be good for suspension? Are springs all thats needed? I may put some rear lower control arms on also if thats really beneficial.

those look really good and almost exactly like stock, and i live near sarasota also (st pete) and that price is great. hmm decisions decisions

Saint Petersburg is nice, we used to go down there a lot when my step-daughter lived there.

OE Wheels owns or has significant investment in at least one major manufacturer--their warehouse is huge, I've never seen so many wheels in one place...

are caster camber plates required when you lower it?

What all is necessary to do to have it lowered perfectly with perfect alignment. I read somewhere that its really hard to align lowered cars.

What would be needed with H&r SS springs?
