love it. looks awesome. I'm about to do the same on mine. Stupid question from a noob... what do you mean by "Drop it"? lower the suspension? Is that just chaining the springs and shocks?

yes, he means lowering the car. coilovers are the most common and best way to go about this.

I installed Dinan suspension which lowers it about 3/4" from stock sport suspension. It is a very conservative drop. Most go for a few inches.

Thx! Yeah, I thought it wouldn't be enough but it turned out perfect. Dropped about 3/4 inch from stock sport suspension. Handles unbelievably on turns. Rides smooth as glass and then bites hard when you need it to.
