BMRs are a good choice, as well as the sportlines.

Will a 1.5" drop fix that?

That's the drop of the springs I'm looking at.

Haha. I might, but I am thinking the Steeda Ultralights. Still have month to decide.

How is the ride quality with the HR race springs?

Edit: Just read your review of them on BV600 for sale page. I think they will be too rough with the stock shocks/struts. I don't plan on changing shocks/struts right now. Thanks though!

Any lower spring will be a beating on stock shocks/struts.

yeah, it's a good idea to change the shocks/struts if you go lower. The stock ones are going to wear out pretty quickly and might give other issues depending on how low you go.

Just one day of driving and I can tell a huge improvement on handling! Those 285s are a hell of a lot better than the stock 235s!

Also, my car may have to look like shit for another two months now. I have decided to just wait another month and do shocks/struts/springs/panhard instead of just springs/panhard.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions!

Just pulled the trigger on some brand new Steeda Ultralites.


Edit: Canceled the Steeda, and went with a steal of a deal on the SR lowering spring ($55 BNIB).
