if i just want to drop my front an inch or so, is it worth buying new lowering springs? or buying new coil overs? i mean, if its just an inch is it best to cut the spring a little just to drop it a little? i dont want to waste my money on a suspension setup when all i do is drive on regular roads. the hardest i ever really push my car cornering is getting on or off the highway. and i dont want to destroy the ride of the car. i dont want to feel every pebble i run over

well, first, cut springs are FTL and if you in VB, the regular roads are not that great. And by cutting factory springs, it will most likely make the ride worse. BUT! i have ridden in some cars with cut springs and it was that bad. But i would just say buy some full coilovers. You dont wanna go all cheap on your car

Go to advance or pep boys and buy the tuner style lugs.

Here is a picture of the ones you should buy, even tho just about any slim wall lug nut will work, they have them at advance trust me I have bought them from there multiple times:

Don't know bout the full coilovers, but at least get some skunk2 lowering springs, or at least a name brand company to lower your car, dont cut your springs like stated above, it will mess up the whole spring rate of the springs ( this even goes for if you cut off a little bit).

Oh and by the way unless your car has absolutely no wheel gap and or tucking tire you are gonna catch shit on here.

i got lugs like these already. i just thought you would need more contact between the rim and the lugs so they dont rub at each other and screw something up

wtf....the only place it contacts the wheel is at the bottom of the lug...if your worried about the gap around the edges after its on???

then please sell this car....and post pics of your fiance..

this will not stop until you do....get it over with and you will be fine..

hell if you post boobs a mod might be inclined to give you member status so you can find some coilovers in the classifieds section

Its cool. I already have some. Just figured I would ask for some more
