Hey guys.
I'm lowering my EF shortly in step 1 of my plan to reduce it's disgusting handling. I don't want it too low where I'm scraping over everything - I'm thinking 1.5" at the front and maybe 3" at the back as it's sitting up rediculously high. Does this sound fairly proportionate ? How have you other guys lowered your cars ?
The other thing to look at is shocks. Things are really going to start adding up it I have to throw in 4 new shocks as well. One suspension place told me that there isn't a shorter shock for the back so there's no point in changing it when lowering ?? So are new shocks a must ?
There seems to be a bit of a price jump in shocks too. You pay $50-100 for Gabriels at places like supercheap but go near a suspension place and you're talking $150-300. Is there any huge downfall with the cheaper ones ? I guess it's probably better to replace them with cheaper ones than not at all (which I'm inclined to do)
I'm getting new wheels shortly, either 16's or probably 17's and I really don't want a jarring ride. So what's my best bet fellas ?!
