Lowering springs

Would lowering springs cause any damages to the stock suspension or any harms to the car as a whole? I really want some nice coilovers, but they are just way too expensive for me.

I talked to Robi, Saturday at the big track of Willowsprings, he seems to firmly believe that his Espelir spring setup is not only safe but pretty darn effective for great handling improvement.

Good guy, Robi...He actually broke out a jack, adjusted my Hotchkis rear-sway and showed me his line...tell him Jason with the MR from Willowsprings sent ya!

esperil gt or asd.

get the linear one, gt.

i don't get how people like lowering the heavy end more than the rear end. that just screws a lot with the balance of the car, beause you're already pre-loading the heavy front, so how are you gonna turn?

it's like taking a hollow tube, closing one end up, loading rocks inside the closed end and spinning the hollow tube.

where is that tube gonna go? it's just going to spin in circles.

hmm.....i always thought that springs would ruin/wear out the shocks because they would not be able to have complete movement/travel

I love my Hotchkis springs.

The drop would be perfect with 18s.
