Default Should I lower my sxt .

Ive been wanting to lower her since I got her thinking after winter what should I use springs or coilovers. whats the best height to lower her or should I wait until my warrenty is over which I have 6500 miles on her now.

I personally say lower it if you like the looks/handling it provides. I went with springs because it was cheaper, but if I had the money I probably would of done coilovers.

Yeah, get some coilvers and dial in a 2"/3"; should work but always make sure you have clearance and watch for pot holes and speed bumps.

Coilovers are the best but at $1200 or so not so cheap. I have seen Eibach spings for like $200, thats what I am putting on mine in the spring.

When you put springs on should u change your struts? I've heard that with the reduced travel the blow out soon, and that you can snap your axles as well, anyone heard the same or had any problems with that

Yes, it's always a good idea to change the struts with lowering springs.

any coliover you get for $100 is gonna be garbage. You don't have to change the struts when you get lowering springs.

the coil overs that are for $100 are they from ebay? either way every one that i have know has not had them last for a single month. just go with the springs or like evry one else said go with the "real" coilovers if you got the cash
