Im not sure how much it is, because mine was already lowered 1.5 when i bought it. But overall I like the stance of the car with it this low. Good luck to ya!:D

I lowered my car myself with BMR springs. They only drop 1" and thats all I wanted because my custom exhaust hangs kinda low.

I made a walkthrough with everything you'd need to do it yourself. Its not terribly hard to do.

I had a Eibach Pro-kit but the springs were stiff and it was just slightly too low. So I bought Hal adjustable shocks and put the stock springs back in. It has an nice even 1 and 1/4" drop in the front and 1" inch drop in the rear now instead of the 2" I got with the Pro-kit! Plus the ride quality is so much better than that of a Pro-kit!:D

I have the pro kit which in it self isnt expensive...but if u wanna do things right u need to buy shocks, Panhard Rod, LCA's and the relocation brakets and all of that adds up.

I love the look but i skipped the shocks mod and my car rides like crap.

I want to lower mine but will wait until I get all my mods installed.

For those that want to lower with springs. I highly suggest saving enough money to get shocks at the same time. You'll thank me later.

I also have BMR springs with Strano Revalved shocks and it sits just perfect IMO.

I lowered mine with G2 springs. Didn't do anything else at the time, but eventually plan on doing shocks, LCA, relocation brackets, and adjustable panhard (I've been saying that for a while). It's fine the way it is, but the ride is a little harsher. I do love the way it looks, though.

I did all the work myself, so price was just the springs (~$150 if I remember correctly).

Has anyone here lowered with Jet Hot longtubes? I want to know if this is possible or if the Headers hang too low

I have the MAC springs in my car with the MAC headers. No problems here.

You'll find that Jet-Hot and Hooker LT headers are probably one of the best LT headers on the market currently that offer the best ground clearance do to its slip fit connections.

I'm lowered and have Hooker LT's(Essentially the same design as Jet-Hots) and have had no issues at all.

I had the Eibach pro-kit on my T/A

I was very happy with it, the ride was nice and it improved my handling quite a bit.

I have mine lowered 2". That is why I chose MAC headers for clearance.
