Lowering ideas???

Somebody here in this forum suggested to lower my car,what is the ideal lowering point for a dd? And what brands should I go with ?

Also what happens to the rest? Do i need to adjust my pinion angle,get a new alignment in the front ??

If you search the forum you will find many different combinations on lowering the car. I recommend the following:
BMR springs
koni Str.t's (shocks & struts)
GT500 strut mounts
BMR adj panhard bar

It will lower it 1.5" in the rear and 1" in the front, so you wont have to do anything with the pinion angle but you will need an alignment

Am I able to change the springs only? Or do I have to replace the struts?

You can go that route but your stock shocks won't last as long as they would on the stock springs...i've also read that the stock shocks w/aftermarket springs ride a little rough but i can't speak from experience.

Stock IMO has a real bouncy ride but with the new suspension it rides like a sports car is supposed to...it has a real tight ride
