    I glanced over Bio's thread quickly and had a few questions about this.

    I want to lower my 04, maybe about 1.5 to 2 inches. I am really thinking I want coilovers but where could I find these?

    Also, where else could I look to check out the price of lowering springs and or coilovers..

    Thanks!

    ZZP sells coilovers, or you can make them.

    All 3800 vendors have springs and struts.

    There's also a stickied thread about lowering that you should look into.

    I put b&gs and kyb struts on mine with 18s and I am not kidding when I say it looks good but I dread driving my car! I am considering putting the stock rear springs back under it. I was thinking of going coil over but the suspension is like 3 grand?! you can buy another grand prix for less than that lol.

    coilovers are nice, but for what you're getting for you are overpaying. they'll set you back somewhere in the $1500 range for the sets being produced, not $3000.

    the car riding rough is always going to be an opinion. i thought my car rode just great on a set of eibach springs with GR2 struts.

    kyb agx struts not gr2s. I think my rough ride problems are in my B&G springs the eibachs on my tbird barely changed the ride when I dropped it an inch and a half.
