Hey. I'm looking to drop my car a bit as right now it looks like my GA is a frigging 4x4. What options do I have available? I'm not too concerned with ride quality....price is the big issue for me. Rather than stalk the internet trying to find something, I figured i'd just ask...

And fairly cheap lowering kits? I figure I want to do it at least KINDA right...I won't cut my stock springs....but, somebody was telling me once about "universal" springs...which, sounded interesting. Any ideas?

i don't like the sound of universal for anything that controls how my car drives. I have Eibach springs and kyb shocks. The drop isn't too much but they definitely give the car a nice stance, and great handling. Not too bumpy either.

I did....I couldn't really find anything useful. Most everything is for 99+....unless, those work too? I doubt it?

That sounds about right. I don't really want to be on the ground, especially around here....and the fact that I live on top of a hill, lol. Only thing is, Eibach just sounds expensive. Eibach is a pretty top notch company I beleive. I'm looking for ANY possible alternative. I don't have a 300hp Trans Am here...I have a dinky 3.1 GA that I just want to lower a bit...I don't care about performance or quality....I just want a cheap lowering, but I don't want to completely ghetto it by cutting my springs.

Is there ANYTHING in between ghetto cutting and top notch Eibach?!
