Lowering Fuel
Random question...Does lowering your car..say about 40mm decrease your fuel economy?

that will depend on how low you want, any drop is a good drop if you like it. loading up the car and not rubbing will depend on spring rates, stiffer springs will take more weight while dropping less. with the right springs and 14" wheels you can easily go down more than 3 inches

 I run Tein S-Techs and Tokico HP shock absorbers. Love the setup. I'm about 2" down.

Coilovers are great because you can adjust them and control the damper force (on some kits). I've gotten pretty good at it and I can raise/lower the car in a few minutes. With springs, once you install them that's it.

I find the silver steelies to be retro chic. The classics never go out of style, eh?
