Re: New to Va Driven
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

Re: New to Va Driven
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.

well, first, cut springs are shit 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 wasnt that bad. But i would just say buy some full coilovers. You dont wanna go all cheap on your car

Re: New to Va Driven
i tried all the local auto part stores looking for the right lugs for the si rims. all they carry are the cone shaped ones and locking lugs. and i know i need to drop it. i just need to figure out the right way to do it. and i have to change my rims before i drop it. the rims on there now are too wide to drop it unless i pull out the fenders to allow them to fit. but i want the si rims on there. i really like those ones. as far as dropping it, whats the best way to do it? i have seen the lowering springs on ebay and also had one of my friends cut his springs to drop it and the ride was so horrible after that. thats why i have been afraid of dropping it. i dont know whats the best way to do it for a good price. and no pictures of my fiance. thats just a dick thing to ask. go look at some porn
