Default Who wants to lower my car?

So im starting to give in the the idea of lowering my car. I kind of gave up on the idea after the exhuast shop welded all my pipes on really low but now i thinking about taking it back and asking the guy if he can redo the piping and really tuck it into the exhuast channel. if he isnt a totall ***** and charges me full labor to do it over again than i think i will lower the car the only thing is i dont want to spend a grand on doing it or even 700. Does any of my socal buddies have any hook ups or old stuff. im hoping to make it in around 400 or 500.

BTW: i never drive my car really really hard so it doesnt have to be a super high-quality setup. I just want to give itsome more styall'
and hopefully a better look to go along with the black/clear lowers i hope to do soon.

What do ya guys think?

Are you sitting on sport suspension right now?

How much drop are you looking at?

i dont know what im at now but i could use a solid inch drop at least with the 45's im on. i dont wanna tuck the tires like our gangster friend Audinam(even though it looks mega sickly) but you know what i mean, i really like the difference on yours randy. i remember it when it was stock and now it looks perfect.

Thanks! Yeah, our gangster friend Nam is rollin' deep on his 22's!

I guess I will look out for some classifieds on used suspension setups for you.
I personally have nothing that I can offer for lowering as I am using it my self but I will keep my eyes open.
