Stock Height
Hey
My car sits way too low for my needs. The previous owner droped it 2 inches and I was wondering if im better of buying a set of stock srpings or going with a 1 inch drop instead. Any pros/cons with stock springs over lowering springs?

stock springs
pros. easy to get over bumps
cons. looks like crap IMO
drops spring
pros better handling, looks better
cons. have to be carefull when driving, **** in the road ****s up your car

Let's start w/ this: What shocks/struts do you have? If you are still running the stockers, then stock height is all they're good for. You need shocks/struts designed to work w/ lowering springs and higher spring rates. The stock shocks/struts don't like that and will wear out prematurely, not to mention they can make for a pretty horrific ride, depending.
I agree that stock height sucks, so maybe look at some FRPP B or C springs. They will drop it a little compared to the stock height, but not too much and it shouldn't affect driveability or steering geometry much. You'll still want aftermarket shocks/struts for that setup, though.
