@Evasive Motorsports has always been good to me. They do great work.

You can run springs if you are on a tight budget, coilovers will give you height adjustment but a bit more expensive. Shoot me a PM i'll be happy to answer any questions for you. Happy Modding!

You'll need to decide how low you want to go, 1", 1.5" etc then decide on what springs you want. Can be from $230-$300 depending on what you choose. Find a shop, @Evasive Motorsports would be a good place to go, I think it was about $140 on their thread.

Cheaper Alt: Or if you have a buddy and got jack stands, socket wrenches, torque wrench, wrenches, floor jack, you can tackle this yourself and just take the springs to a shop and have them swap it out for you ($10-$20) after you take it out (Recommend). Or borrow spring compressor from Autozone but can put you into hospital if you do it wrong (not recommended).

I've got some name brand springs for sale that provide about a 1.2-1.5 in drop all the way around. You would just need a few other things to complete the process. Brand new set of Tein springs for $185!

If you are considering buying from @Neekowahhhh I can vouch for his ride. He definitely looks like he takes care of his car. I've hung out with him a couple of times are car meets.

Heres the thing i left out. I live in a partment that has a my parking down stairs. So i have to go slow to not hit my bumper. So i was just wondering if i should just hold off till i move out. This had been holding me back guys. If i go slow it wont hit. Thank all of you guys for your grat advise.

Wait, you mean that with stock suspension/height right now you have to be extremely careful already or else you'll scrape? If that's the case, I would definitely wait until I move.

**Oh and as to your other question... @Evasive Motorsports did the install for me.

Probably have to angle up as well as go slow. As long as you're not slammed, you should be fine, unless its a steep driveway
