Hmm. Rural PA wasnt too bad of a ride. yet again, realize that you ARE talkin about NYC here, and their roads are not known for being the greatest in the world. Yet again, something may have changed or worn in the last year or so. Thank you for the update, though.

From my experience in TheOne2043's car, I would say yes. 1.3" or 1.7" drop on all 4 corners. If you feel froggy and wanna try and do a rake, 1.7" up front and 1.3" in the back.

Ok, thanks for all your help, I was planning on waiting till spring or summer to do all this, just wanted to know what all I need and maybe start looking for parts. One more question, racing springs or lowering springs? I want good handling and it to be pretty hard suspension

Well Alex was driving, my 240-260 lb buddy in the passenger seat and my tall 190lb body was in the back. I guess that suspension didn't like all three of us at once.

A friend of mine just got some for his 3K GT vr4 and said they were different than lowering springs, I wasn't really sure if they were or not, just trying to get some info on them.

Not real sure what the difference would be. I dont think there are "racing" springs for these cars. But I assume that they accomplish the same thing as lowering springs.
Check the clubgp classifieds to cheap, used lowering springs.

TireRack.com, WBS, PFYC, one of those stores give you the option. All I've ever seen for this car, though, is 1.3 or 1.7 drop. No racing springs whatsoever.
