Advise needed on lowering my R33

[Swordfish19792002]

I run 18" Kumhos 235 45 all around

How much should I lower my car ? {I want it just lower than legal height. }

Cut the springs ?

Will the ride then be shithouse ?

Or watt kind of springs would u recommend and a rough price.

I suppose I gotta change the shockies aswell ?

Never cut the springs!

Springs are relatively cheap, $320 will get you lowered springs from whiteline. King springs and pedders do a set of lowered springs as well as Jap brand such as Apexi, Tein amongst others. I wouldn't lower it too much past 30mm, maybe 40mm but you will have to replace the shocks aswell, as they won't last long anyway. My car was lowered when I got it and I wasn't aware that the rear shocks were still standard, they flogged themselves out within 10000km.

You will introduce other hassels, depending on how much you lower it, such as excessive negative camber at the rear, but ulness you are really picky about tyre wear (like me), that probably won't bother you.

I will say it again, NEVER CUT THE SPRINGS!
