lowering my 97 ??
i have seen some cheap lowering bolts here on this forum (under $30) and was wondering whats the pros and cons of lowering. i like the way it looks but performance handeling how it makes a difference plus whould i still be able to open the doors next to a curb? and i was wondering if theres a possibility of tire rubbing against the inner wheel wells of the car

I would say about 1/2 of the backing out of my driveway is one big SCRAPE!
I just go super slow and turn the wheel ASAP
It is not the most 'commonsensical' thing I have ever done to my car, but it sure LOOKS cool...or as another member said: "menacing"

I lowered the rear on my 97 by just cutting the stock bushings in half. and it was plenty for me. I also upgraded the bolts to some heavy duty zinc plated bolts i picked up at ace hardware for abut $6.
As for the front, my front end scrapes on everything as it is so i def. will never lower it.
don't waste your money on those lowering kits!
