Still on the fence about but buying new springs! Is it worth $400 to $500 hundred for 3/4 " drop. I might have to file for DIVORCE ( that should include installation fee) remember I do not not want to do this job myself

OK let me ask this .If I buy springs to drop the front 1" , will I need to get a front end alignment and or camber adjustment or both?

Anytime you take a strut off you need an alignment.

the coefficient of drag is driven largely by the cross sectional area being driven into the flow field...just lowering the car isn't going to significantly change the stock figure. Theoritically at least, just lowering the car may actually make the number go up, as you could induce boundary issues with the road surface that weren't previously there...

Just messing with ya! Keep us updated. The $190 for the springs is a heck of a deal. Personally, I'd go all 4 as it will tend to handle a little funky if you go stiffer and lower in the front. I'll bet he can do 4 that will lower the front and keep the rear about where it is at. I've heard nothing but good things about his springs.

If i have any quirks abuot the SVX (and beleive I really don't have any )is I always thought the front wheel well opening looked a off to me (meaning a little bit to big I guess?) I'll check into 4 springs but i don't want to lower the rear! I have 18" wheels and I love how the rear looks
