dont lower ur car 3-4 inches, thats crazy, i mean it is ur car but that is a lot, u probly wont want to do this but u can trim the fenders and re finish them afterwards, it will give room for the wheels but it will also look funny. idk

I wouldn't drop it that much. I dropped mine 2.5" ish and it looks fine. Either don't drop it 3-4" or trim the fenders. I'd take the first option since it'll end up costing you a good bit less.

or get rims with a different offset.

dont do it

def. dont drop your car 3-4 inches you will def. regret it, and it will only lead to problems in the future. Plus our upper control arms wont even let you do it.
that and the ride will suck real bad. you will feel every pebble. Unless you get airbag susp. then youd be set.

you can cut out a section in the top of the fender for your control arms ... just enough for the arm to hit up a lil

thanks u guys for all the input...i think i may just use some lowering springs (1.5-2in drop) of course body kits make it look lower anyway so.....well thanks again. hope to c some of ya in the next couple of months
