How low do you want to go, unless you want to race I think the stock struts and shocks will work fine, I have run fe5 springs on fe3 struts and it was good. I am planning on switching the fe3's into my YYZv1's for a smoother ride. I have fe5 in them now, and it is ready to race except it only has 175hp....ha ha

anyway how low you want will help someone to recommend some.

I love my YYZ v1 springs on the daily driver, they also offer a v2 that is 1/2" lower front and 3/4 lower rear, I own a set but haven't installed them on anything yet. His is a SS it starts 1" lower so that is pretty low, but you can get lower if you want. Look in Lunchboxes gallery.

Lmfao. Go higher... I wouldnt recommend anything lower on the SS than an inch. As far as non ss, maybe 1.5in? Unless you change tires. (Not sure if non ss is as low as ss)

? Not really following that suggestion. A lot of the aftermarket springs for the SS application are in the 1 1/2'" drop range. I haven't had any issues with mine at this height. Yes, you do have to be a little careful but hey, it's lowered a little, not slammed. On the plus side, it didn't even need a realignment.

I lowered mine using Eibach springs with KYB struts and shocks.Did it all in my drive way except I had the springs installed on the struts by a shop on their wall mounted spring compressor,cost me $20 to have it done.

Well in my part of the world I already bottom out with stock springs. But then in Texas everything is bigger... including pot holes and crappy roads :p
