I am thinking of lowering - I have some questions...

I saw this link http://www.american-truck-auto.com/b..._springs.shtml and I was thinking of lowering my car... but honestly I don't know. I am on 22x9.5 wheels... (don't know my offset or anything) I am curious to know about the ride... handling... wheels rubbing.... anybody out there on 22's with the lowering kit? Pics? Input? Anything --- thanks...

when i lower my car im going to use the h&r springs they offer a 1.8 inch drop as opposed to the eibach which offers a 1.6 inch drop with the sport line kit. I have heard that the h&r springs ride better and are of much better quality. I also have 22x9.5 rims with a 15mm offset on 265x35 tires

well my major concern is the wheels rubbing I guess.... I think the lowered look is real hot... but if it's a hassle and the wheels rub - I don't wanna mess with it.

I have a SRT8 and I am putting different wheels on this weekend and then I am going to put some K&W's on very soon and I would sell you my factory items and that would definitely give you the look that you want....

Let me know if you are interested
