    Fair enough haha, I have read somewhere that you can get springs compressed? Not to sure what it involves but makes them sit lower, Google it and have a read, Might help you out.

    Apparantly Kmac suspension make custom springs. They get you to measure from the bottem of the rim up to your where you want your guard to sit . And of course wat size rims you have. Then they make them to your size.

    great car but i think its fine as is, compressing springs wrecks them, they heat them up, squash them and harden them back so they wont be very comfy. any bump and you will have a sore ars*

    he said ultra...might pay to get your rims first then see if it needs more...is it sitting on your bump stops?....cut them in half and take out the top rubber locators...

    You can get kings springs sssls which would prob only drop your car 2 to 3cmer low than what it currently is, so your best bet would be to get your springs reset/compressed or get a custom set made.
