Try some Vogtland Springs and KYB struts got them as a kit for 325 on ebay. Got about 1" maybe a tad more in front and the back in more like 1.5". It actually sits with the pinch weld level on the bottom of the car. Ride pretty decent.

Any lower would be a pain in the butt to deal with. Barely fits on my rack at work but it does.

i dont have an option to choose the springs, they are goldlines. i want a descent drop i got srt springs on there and it needs to be lower. i Hate wheel gap and wanna lose as much of it as possible

What kyb struts? GR2's are not good for lowering, they're just like a stock strut. The adjustable KYB AGX's are supposed to be much better for lowering and can be had pretty cheap (like 90-95 bucks per).

my $.02

KYB is crap

I would go with Koni or Tokico

you can get the tokico blue's for about 200 now

well i have gr2 with my sportlines and everyone ive read about says they wont last. ive had mine for a year and no problems. i also drive pretty aggressive too. but in my own opinion i would probally go with some tokico blues only becuase they are much better for a lowered car.http://modernperformance.com/ now sells them.

Goldlines are junk. They will continue to sag indefinately.

They are a non-silicon, cold rolled steel. Not the best material for springs.

Get H&R's, you won't regret it. Heat treated, high-silicon, shot peened steel. Plus, they are a progressive rate. Feels stock till you get dirty in the twisties.

Goldlines FTMFL!!!!

GR2's are fine, as long as they are brand new when you put on your lwoering springs. Now if you had Gr2's on your SRT-4 springs and put the Goldlines on..Then they would blow.
