$60? I'll have to pay to ship to KY, as well as pay to install (I'm a ditzhead girl). If too low, no pun intended, let me know how low you'll go! Thanks.

The install is not that hard you would probably surprise yourself with how capable you probably are.

If you pm me a price we can work something out.

I am always surprised when I am capable of inflating my own tires without blowing them up in my own fact (I cannot do it myself; trust me on this)...

PM'd you; sorry for the breach of etiquette! And thanks.

This is a pretty aggressive drop. My fronts were really low. I am running the stock 15s with 60 profile tires and I almost never rubbed. 17s may be different.

The spring rate is progressive.

Shop time should be about 2-3 hours for all four. Around 100-300 depending where you go, shop around.

"Almost" never rubbed on 15s?
Ehh..Im lookin at some scraping symphony on 17s I gather. Bummer.
Stupid question here: What is the difference with coilovers and just lowering springs? I dont get it. You can make height adjustments with coilovers on the fly per say?

Yes. Springs replace the coil portion of your suspension without touching dampers. You have four springs and four dampers. The springs only will come with a predetermined drop and spring rate that cannot be adjusted.

Coilovers are fully adjustable race suspension. You will receive 4 dampers and 4 springs. In the rears the springs sit on a perch connected to your control arm while the dampers are an A style strut that sits seperately. The struts allow you to adjust spring preload and dampening (soft---> hard). The springs will then have an adjustable locking collar system allowing you to adjust ride height.

In the front your spings will sit around your dampers in a mcpherson style strut. This will attach to your hub and you chassis and will allow you to adjust spring preload or ride height by moving the three locking collars and you can adjust dampening as well. All seperate from each other.

The 17s might be fine. I mean almost like hitting a bump and having the front completely lift off the ground and come back down and then yes my tires did get pushed into my fender lining. I think that was the only time I rubbed. Freaking train tracks.

I think it is also worthy of note that most coilover setups run around $1k. you pay for adjustability.

Yes coilovers are much more expensive than springs alone. Also you can go wayyyy lower, forgot about that lol

Wow. Yea smh..roads here in chi are porbably as nice as Baghdads..and I have to drive over train tracks like 5 times a day. I enjoy going dam near airborne over them like General Lee, and not hearing the slightest scrape.
Ive seen lowered Si's come to a dead stop over the same tracks, I'll nearly rear end them and have to whip around.
So that sucks..cuz I really like the lowered look. So I guess I gotta pay to play with the coilovers, if I want to stay rolling on 17s or 18s :(
