Lowering question
#2
Ummm..... which springs? H&R Supersports and Steedas are recommendable ones that give a noticeable drop w/o being slammed. If you want slammed then Eibach Sportlines are good. If you want really slammed the Sportlines w/o using the isolators is good. You will need caster/camber plates with any noticeable drop so factor that and install into the budget. Hope this helps.

Errr...I meant to link the springs but forgot to do so. Link added
The reason I ask is because I had them installed yesterday, and I'm quite sure my back is the same height, and my front dropped half an inch. I got it installed with mm c/c

I personally have no clue, I'll have to ask the mechanics where I got it installed.
Edit - Also, they told me they can't lower the cambers because the top bolt hits the hood, so it can't close. Is this normal?

So i talked to my mechanic, and he said the car had plates with indent that specified how the springs were suppose to be placed, and he placed them as such. He said either they would be misplaced outside the indents--causing the car to ride higher, or inside and look how it does now. Kind of wish i took my car to another shop

Are the aftermarket polyurethane isolators the same way? And does not using them at all then make the car vibrate more?
As the the pigtails, I understand what he was referring to when he said indents for the springs--for the front of the car. The rear do not have those, and the springs go clockwise. If they aren't in the correct direction, could they be doing damage to the springs?
I really appreciate all the responses. I am, in every sense of the word, a noob when it comes to cars. Thanks
