Default Easy way to drop a shadow

Anyone have any suggestions aside from cutting the springs to lower a 93 shadow? Im putting new shocks/struts on the car soon and was thinking about lowering it but cant find drop springs or anything for it.

Get into the sunlight, that will get rid of the shadow. But anyways, there should be some lowering kits out there. Try ebay.

Good luck, cutting the springs isnt wise, kind of a personal issue, cause i am a firefighter, and the dumb bastard that has to cut you out of the car when you wreck. So, i dont like the spring cutting idea. Try measuring them out and seein if you can get springs to fit another vehicle that match, thats about the only idea i got.

If you wanted to go dirt cheap you could get the spring compressers at auto zone or advance auto for about $4.50 per set...it'll only give you maybe a one inch drop max. That's what I did until I can get the eibach springs and body kit for my shadow. They also make a dynomax catback for it too. It runs about $90 with muffler.

you could also try to heat the springs just make sure you are on level ground.
