i want to drop my car and really don't know much about lowering, but i have 17/7.5 w/215/50 sutimoto's and i want to know if i will rub, also are those good springs/camber kit? or is it crappy. Also is that all i have to buy to lower it?

you will not rub.
progress springs (1.7") will sag to a 2" drop, and the camber kit is not the best but it'll work for you.

I dont know much about it but It sounds like a rip. Cause you can buy the springs, all 4, for about $100. I thought there was a $15 or so chamber kit you could make in the mods section.

you can do the rear camber with washers for damn cheap. the front is trickier. I'd say shop around some more for springs. goldlines kick ass and they can be found for cheap.

I just ordered goldlines for my ride at $113.00 shipped.

Very good price and they sound like a good set of springs from what people have said. Rear camber can be done for $13.00 i believe. There's a link to it in the mods section and the front camber will have to be done seperately with another kit.

Also expect to get an alignment done afterwards.

Good luck :)
