Default So i want to drop my car

i want to drop my car but later on want to add the abs dynamic lip kit aka rs1. i was thinking about the tein s-tech but heard somewhere that it is really low in the front.. what about the h-tech or goldlines? i want to go low but i dont want the front to rub to much when i get the lip kit.. any help is appreciated.. thanks.

s.tech's drop 2.4 front.

have you considered hotchkis springs? i think those will compliment the lip kit nicely.

H-Techs have a slightly smaller drop but a better ride than S-Techs. You might wanna think about a coilover setup because ur stock struts will only last so long and it will end up being quite cheaper if u just go coilover in the first place.

I would say that you should get the TRD springs..... but I won't. They work for me, and I got them with the car, but they are not even. The ___ end is a bit low. But hey, you wouldn't have to worry about the front scrapeing.

I have h-techs and i am gettin the front lip. as long as you are aware of your surroundings and can adapt to them then you should have no problem. i live in a city that has very nice roads, but i go to school in a city which looks like godzilla was loose on the roads.. they suck.. but just learn how to drive the car and you wont have a problem.

Everyone scrapes now and then you just have to be careful going up driveways.

check out pages 1 and 2 of my photobucket albulm to see some pictures of S-Tech's + RS1 lip kit. It IS low, but it's still manageable if you have good roads in your area like I do. I've only scrapped twice, and both of which were me being careless.
