If youre trying to make a good handling "suspension" sell your supersports they lower the car too much, out of where the stock geometry is effective and arn't stiff enough especially for the amount they are lowered. Return them and get the h&r race springs.

well the whole point of lowering the car is to lower it. so I am accepting that I will loose a little handling for looks. I hate the ride hieght of my car. way to high. 1" drop is not going to make it look right.

I don't think so. kind of trial and error. I have seen bullit with 20" american racing and 2" drop on a mustang weekly artical. knowing my luck it will rub. keeping my fingers crossed. my whole idea was to have a car that looks low but is not so low that it is a pain in the ass to drive.
