Default Lowering my TC...Question?

I posted a question about spinners and decals and the most of the replies i got was sarcasm and...more sarcasm. Some of you actually thought I was fake. What the.

I'm still a newb at these car stuff and I just wanna know the information, doesn't mean I'll actually get spinners. Now I've learned how expensive these are, I'm probably not gonna have them...

Thanks to those who actually tried to help.


Now I'm thinking about lowering my tC, I heard it has something to do with the suspensions...again, I have no knowledge about lowering a car whatsoever. So please, something that would actually help. Thank you.

Look in corner carvers. Read through the posts about springs and make a decision.

And your a poopie face! I was new to the game too, but I did a ton of searching through old posts and used some good old common sense to put it all together. If you have a questions on something do some research on your own before posting. Once you have done your research, then post questions on what you don't get.

Now, what exactly would you like to know about lowering your car? You're right it has to do with your suspension, but how low did you want to go? Did you want to slam it to the ground? Do you want a subtle drop??

It's not that hard, just look in corner cravers, if you want to know. Just put in some springs for a cheap yet nice lowered look. Most people that i've seen said TIENS are the springs.

Yeah get specific with your goals for your car. And check out the parts review section, see if there is any good reviews also corner carvers.

What your looking for is a set of springs (maybe compliment them with adjustable shocks/struts) or coilovers to lower your vehicle. Go through the corner carvers section and read up on springs and coilovers. Decide what your goal is and then what would work better for you and what is within your budget. Search and read up. If you lack the tuning knowledge just search and read as much as you can. Lots of information to learned on here.

OK, smart *****, enough of acting like pompasses;)

Maybe he just does not know but is willing to learn???

No matter how much you think you know, somewhere there is somebody better than you, only a few ever are at the top in anything.

I hate spinners more than you guys but some people do not know how seriously anti performance and uncool they really are. It is our duty to teach them, to lead them in the right direction, not to belittle them so our weak egos can feel better;)
