-I was wondering, what are my options to "stink bug" the car... lower the front end a little without going with coil-overs? Or is that even a wise thing to do? I would just like to give the car a better looking stance. Thanks.

Re: Stink Bug
Nice car -- awesome - ive never heard it put that way (stinkbug)
you could put lowering springs (very slightly lower) on all 4 and then spacer the rears so they dont go too low...
you might want to avoid putting lowering springs on just the front to avoid handling issues, although depending on which ones you get it might not be too bad.
some springs are lower than others so you can figure out which ones will get the correct amount of stinkbug for you.
i think that would be the simplest.

Re: Stink Bug
-Thanks for the input. I think springs would be the way to go since I popped a front strut due to the bad roads here in Denver. Never thought of spacers for the rear. I'll have to look into that!
