How hard to lower??

I found on ebay a set of Sprints for 136 dollars, and i was just wondering from anyone that has done it how hard it was.

i heard not to lower a redline. it will f-up the suspension. maybe if the springs were custom made for the redline, otherwise dont do it. buy new rims and tires, bigger rim smaller tire, but dont go bigger then the overall diameter of what are on there now. it will throw off the odometer, and i think the speedometer.

Hey hopper. Welcome to the forum.

Not true though. RelineKid_04 lowered his with those Sprint springs. It looks real nice and he has not reported a single problem.

Blackline, you might wanna PM him and ask him about it. He seems like a pretty cool, standup guy.

Like I said, PM him and ask about it. I am thinking of lowering mine in the near future as well.

Yea the sprints will work but not the eibachs. My dad used eibachs and it had alot of problems, thats the scenario you probobly heard. But i havnt had any problems thus far with the sprints. Handles a lil better too! But i do suggest using the sprints, it really sets the car off.
