Lowering front end
#13
#14
Some cons from someone who has been there:
Even with stock tires lowering will cause rubbing if you lower your front too much. You may not see it while parked, but you will hit your fenders at high speed bumps or when backing out of an incline (driveway) and turning.
Your license plate bracket will crack as it hits parking curbs in parking lots and your plate will be gone when you come home one day 'cause it fell off on the freeway. Same prob if you have a front spoiler.
If you have a deep oil pan, speed bumps and some driveways will require crawling slowly.
Your power steering hoses are really low and will scrape at bumps so they should be tied up higher.
Handling turns will improve, but the ride will be rattly and bumpy at freeway speeds.
Yes you need to align after you change coils.
It's OK to do this mod, but realize there's a small range as to how far you can lower your car to avoid probs.
