That's definitely lower. I'll pray for your bumper and undercarriage.

That’s b/c your shocks can’t handle the spring rate. Stock shocks hate life on a lowered car.

That looks awesome! How has the handling changed??
Do you think the stock adaptive dampers would die REALLY prematurely with these springs… I’m tempted to pull the trigger on these. I can imagine having to swap out the adaptive dampers on our cars would be a $$ fix. .

If you're handy with tools you can do this yourself with some jack stands. Having a buddy and a lift would be *Chefs kiss*
The hardest part is taking apart the rear interior, but it's not really as hard as it is scary if you don't know what to pull on. |

Yeah the rear interior was the easiest imo. Took about 10 min to strip.

Lowering springs are so underrated, they completely change the look of a stock car

I just got the same ones installed with 18mm and 20mm spacers and really happy with the look.
I think if I put a lip though, it will be difficult to navigate underground parking around here. |
