add skirting and the car will look lower. Just enough to give it a better appearance.
Lowering is such a big expense and such a gamble.. not a mod to go cheap on. Seems crazy to spend more on labor than the actual parts.
I'd save up for the full coil over Bilstein PSS9 set up if you are going to fork over $600 for an install. The ride height possibilities are limitless.

Limitless? Or adjustable within a certain degree, lol. Im still thinking of the ROW M30 suspension, but if I had the cash, Id get the PSS9s.

well I meant ride height and rebound combinations being limitless...
But I hear ya its an expensive mod indeed, but there's no getting around that $600 install fee unless you are handy and have a friend to kill 6 hours with.

I driven all manner of lowered cars and I'd say most were enjoyable for the first hour and a half. And these were all manner of VERY PRICEY set ups. I also spent very big sums experimenting with custom shock mounts and spring rates.
Lowering a car is a performance mod and should not be done just for looks.
With your average set up the car will take a substantial beating over its lifetime
due to less travel. Things come loose, rattle etc.

Ya, I hear ya. I just love when I see an old oldsmobile slammed driving down the road. Cause every time it hits a bump I see the the thing bounce like crazy, lol. So don't skimp on the shocks.
