I'm not into track times or racin my car...I just drive average/aggressive around the city. I'm lookin into lowering it a bit to fill the wells a lil. I just put 17x9's with 275/40's on and I need some info on what the proper way to lower the car is! Springs? Camber plates? What brands? Prices?

Thanks

A thread search could give you a wealth of info on this subject.
Cost effective would be FRPP C springs....next step would be FRPP handling kit, which comes with springs struts/shocks and new sway bars.
Doesn't lower too much, great handling and not too expensive.

For "da kind"... go for H&R Sports or even lower, H&R SuperSports (C/C plates will most likely be required).

Plan on upgrading your struts and shocks more so the lower you go.

And what is your reasoning behind that statement?

he is going more for looks over performance on this venue... go ahead and slam it. MM CC plater, HR supersports, and yank the isolators. will fill in the gaps really well. though i'd start saving for replacement dampeners.

+1 for MM CC plates, along with the coils you should be alright.
