i just got my 17's rims put on and im wanting to lower my ride and its a BG SP astina and i'd like to lower it a abit and i just measured it from the top of the tyre to the top of the rear arch is around 70mm and at the front its 50mm and i dont want to lower it to much that if i hit a bump it will srub or turn the corner to hard and rip out the guard or something i was thinking around 50mm at the back and like 25mm or 20mm at the front but i kinda what the car sitting level so how do i go about this ? and i got qouted $430 king springs fitted so thats not 2 bad i reckon but yeh i dunno how to make it look good being lowered with out doing damage to the car or my good tyres and being able to handle twisties :confused: :confused:

Hey if not ask me! :p

I know i can get them i've just never priced them! I remember paying like $90 for a pair for the charade back in the day, but i'd be interested to know what i can do them for now...

unless you are that fully sik hectic CRX with scissor lift doors we saw on the Da Cruise....

that thing had about 2mm ground clearance at the back, but the front you could park another car under...
