I would like to know what is the max i can lower it without messing with strut plates, offset rack bushings, etc. I need to lower my car badly, due to the fact that i cut the stock springs a while ago. It actually isnt that bad, but the rear sits higher cause i only cut the front. ebay has tons of springs, what should i get, 2" or 1/1/2"?

i dont know alot about lowering it, but when i bought mine it had a two inch drop. the front tires where laid in so bad the outside tread was brand new and the inside had wire showing(but damn it would hang a curve). anyway i raised it back up. if it were me i wouldnt go more than 1 1/2 without the plates.

Yup My ford racing ones lowered it 1 1/2 in the front and 1 1/4 in the rear (more than they say they do but I measured) looks great and handles even better. No caster camber plates even though they say you need em.
