dropn' it like it's hot!!!!

All right tech guys, this is my problema- I am looking to drop my car around 2" and want to find out what is good for what I am looking for. This is going to be my daily driver and not a drifter or drag car so an expensive setup is probably not what I need. Granted I know it wouldn't hurt, I won't need to be doing any tweeking so I imagine a good set of lowering springs and lowering shock will do. Any suggestions will help me to start looking into the right products so I can do my own research and I have read many an old thread and I know you guys know your stuff when it comes to the 240. I am baby new to this car so your help is appreciated.

i think the eibach sportlines drop the car the most...teins dont drop a lot but better ride quality...Just to let u know, by the time u buy some decent springs and shocks ull b spendin as much as u would to buy some decent used coilovers...which would b much better...

Heating springs is what most Honda boys do. You guys have NO IDEA what your doing when you heat/cut them.

I would help, but imma do like my boy Landho and let you guys figure it out for yourselves....

O and BTW chill with the mexican jokes, i aint mexican but if you mess with Landho, your gonna be messing with a ****load of others on this board

mmmm heated springs... now thats a great idea when a new set of springs run only $160.....

I love crappy ride quality ::rolls eyes::

I have Tein S-tech + KYB AGX, ~1.3" drop



I think Eibach sport lines will give u the drop u want.

when i said torch the springs, i ment heat them up. K! Settle down about the mexican thing, whats the big deal. I call my friend a beaner all the time, he doesnt care. Im just stating a fact, thats how the beaners did it on their lowriders. Im not trying to be mean.
