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!

Want to lower my FR-S where can I go?
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
