I think a nice 1.5" drop on any car dramatically increases handling.. if you lower much more than that, you really lose you ride quality but it looks nice

According to the sprints I saw on ebay for our cars, the drop is 1.75 inches.

That's for the regular Ion. Don't forget that the Redline is already slightly lowered compared to the regular Ion.

Where can I get some of those springs at? I didn't think they made springs for the Redline, or are they the same as the regular Ion QC?
