ok, so i have bullitt rims that are 245 45 17, and im getting tires of the "4x4" look, i dont know if i could just get lowering springs, and be ok? or if im gonna have to roll the fenders and such. I really dont have alot of money to spend on this since im trying to go cammed at the same time. i have replaced the sway bar. Is it really gonna kill me if i dont do shocks/struts too?

I'm not an expert, but I think it all depends on how low you go. Vogtlands you might be able to get away with the stock struts, but if you want to really get rid of the gaps and go the B&G/Eibach route, you'll certainly want to get at least Gr-2s, preferably agx's.

you can just do springs for now but it will wear the shocks/struts out alot faster

i wont lie to you and say rolling your fenders is easy, but its also not very hard. given that you do rub, it will most likely be the rears. rolling the rears will take you an hour max with a heat gun and a rubber mallet. the hardest part is figuring out how hard you can hit the fender before it starts to bend and how hard is too hard.

well i rub right now when i hit bumps with more than 2 people in the car. i just feel like my car has alot of bounce and it really shouldnt, and when people get in my car and i have 2 people in the back my car LOOKS like its lowered when its not....

drop it on ssc springs and get new struts

you rub on stock height with 245/45s/17s??? You got some blown struts if thats the case. And you said its bounces a lot.Originally Posted by backinblackgtp
How many miles do you have?
the 245/45s/17s is why it looks like a 4x4. There smaller then stock.

95k miles, and i dont rub unless i have 3 or 4 other people in the car and i hit a bump, when i just drive i dont rub. and im pretty sure the strusts were replaced at around 75k -80k miles so theres no way they could be shot already.
but if i JUST do SSC springs will i have a problem?

Yeah, its springs will just kill the struts faster if their not already

you know how much thatll cost about? and can i do it myself?

how much the springs are or install or both?
Here's twp write ups I have

Its not hard just takes time. Air tools will make the job faster and you will need to rent a spring compressor from autozone.
