Another option is coilovers. And will lower the car as you wanted in the long run.

Lotta dough right now though...... you guys have any ideas on where to get the spring bushings? I prefer rubber, but I'll go with poly if need be.

I may have mine laying around some place. They were pulled off when I went to coilovers.

Part number is 10252518. Discontinued.

Yes, they make poly. I think you can buy them separately. I may have some of those as well.

Take your pick John.

Stock on the left, poly on the right.
