Dropping My car

Hey guys im planning on lowering it this week, with Tein s Springs, do you guys think the drop will be enough or still too high,

the thing is that i still sometmies scrape my front lip sometimes even when going slow on steep entrances.

what other options should or can igo with that are not crazy drops and around the 200-250 or so range in drops.

if you already scrape your lip you're just going to scrape it more often...

i'd still say lower that 4x4!!!

and if ur gonna lower i donno if i'd do just springs, cuz your stock shocks will give out and blow... i'd either to springs + struts, or full coilovers... it might cost more but it's well worth it..

yeah defiently lower it, I think i paid 220 for my nuespeed race springs my buddy in the red hatch has the same ones(look at my sig) < if thats to low neuspeed also makes sport springs, which dont drop it that low.::
, As far as the shocks blowing....This is my second year on stock shocks and 3-4 months now, with the heavy h22 in there.

but yeah defiently lower it.

on stock height it shouldnt really scrape

im kind of in the same boat as you,
Im going to be lowering my car but not sure what i want to do. My shocks are stock but do not know if I should just go with springs on the lower or shock/spring.

Im going to be only daily driving but do not want to be bouncing around. I do not mind spending 500$ or so for daily driving only lowering 1.8"-2". What do you guys think?
