Lowering your car that much will cause some handling problems.

If all you want to do is lower it for looks you might as well simply cut the springs you already have in the car.

I have H&R Supersports and have not had a single problem with them besides scraping on tall speed bumps. All I did was springs andcaster/camber Kit. No bumpsteer or anything wierd here.

no, do not cut your springs, car will ride like crap, and that is a half assed way to do it.

Go with Eibach sportlines. They are rated at a 2" drop. I put them on and love them. I didn't do anything else suspension wise. It rides a little harsher, but deffinately not undriveable.

h&r supersports or Eibach sportlines will give you the 2" drop. but you're going to need C/C plates or you risk getting uneven treadwear. You'll eventually need to replace the shocks and struts too.

Yea, def do NOT cut the springs, that is not the way to do it, I'd stick with either Steeda, Eibach, or Ford Racing and def the CC plates
