Ok guys I kind of have a problem lowering my celi.I have 18s with 40 series tires.I have a full U.S. spec blitz kit with the urethane front.I want to lower it but i have problems with scraping already on stock suspension.I am in the process of checking out air ride b/c that would lower it but i could raise it up to get over the bumps.To get into my garage i am almost touching the ground with the front end when i back in now.So the question is,Any suggestions other than air that i could use to lower my car?...any help guys would be awesome ..thanks

Do you have a picture of your car?
Air suspension...Friend of mine got an Air ride on his VW .He bough it for $1800 + $1000 for installation and $600 to change the hoses. (Mother fuckers sell it with plastic cheap shit hoses)...
If you just wanna go simple get new shocks and springs.
You can get a coil overs too but coil overs are stiffer than a springs.
P.S. Of corse after installation of body kit you have to anderstand that your car it's low and has now more limitations...
P.S.I have a Sportlines and VS-1... So my car is very low, but I'm fine at the most of the times...But yes some driveways to high for me to drive over...

Well i have scrape marks under my front bumper from the roads and im on stock suspension.And I have to go up an alley to get into my garage.I am seriously only like an inch from touching the ground when i back into my garage.The only solution i have come up with is air ride because i do not plan on parking on the street with the kids around here..haha..BUt if anyone has anything other than air and maybe cheaper let me know..thanks

You can always get 19" wheels & that'll give you a litt more ground clearence.

Sure if you have $3000 to spend on it... P.S.I can even ask my frend who install it for him and give you the phone number if you need.
