lowering options shit theres so much to consider first

1 why
2 how low
3 comfort
4 safety

then the options

1 cut and turn
2 adjusters (many flavours and prices)
3 red 9 both options coil overs and wishbone
4 narrowed beams
5 tubs
6 dropped spindles wagons west welded style or T2d flipped ball joints
7 spline drops
8 adjustable or fixed spring plate drops
9 notched chassis
10 the matt ballz approach dropped body


have a think about the first 4 first this will help you pinpoint your options then look at what you have to spend on it this will rule out the rest leaving you with what is open to debate

dont want to go silly low (well not yet) around 2inch drop maybe 3 want to keep some comfort and must be safe so does that reduce my options?

Another vote for Red9.

 

[Araon]

needs to read up on red 9 to make that decision....

it would certainly give him the drop he wants.....

but the adjusters with the correct dampers.....

budget, front and back?

have red9 on mine. didnt fit it as it was on the bus when i bought it, but it replaces the torsion bars, and uses fully adjustable coil overs, so you can adjust the ride height and damping very easily. i believe it is easy to fit though. i also have red9 3" lowered spring plates on the back. have to say the ride is very nice. heres a link
