Tein Basic Coilovers or Ksports..... We'll I don't wanna be Bias, Eibach makes a good Lowerig Springs for SC, but you have a yr then a blown Shocks is required. Hope this helps.

It means, your stock shocks are not really design for height lowering, using any type of lowering springs will compressed the shocks and will eventually get damage/shot.

o and one more thing. do u think that coilovers will make a big difference in handling?

Besides among other things added to my ride like Sway Bars, I like the handling and the ride with coilovers imo better than being on a lowering springs besides, like I said earlier, shocks eventually get shot after a year or so of use, to costly.

Of course, quite number of members here with 4WD are lowered on coilovers.

Your best way to go is with a set of Coilovers, Ksports just came out with their set of coilovers, by you doing these will save you more rather than missing with lowering spring set up's.

So not to thread Jack, but what do you recommend for improving the handling on a 4WD?
