Hey guys
I recently knocked up my girlfriend and I'm gonna have to buy a 4 door. I've owned 2 mx73's in the past and probably gonna buy another one here soon.
I want to roll with some style, can't be too slammed cause my lady will have to drive it as well!
What kind of spring/coilover options do I have? I have searched around and all I find is people wanting extreme spring rates for track use or bumpy ass street cruising.
I will run either 14 or 15" wheels with decent off-set, so I want it to look low and good but still be comfortable...is this possible?
Thanks

Comfortable-ish lowering options...

I've got cut springs on my X72. One coil all around IIRC. Rides fine, only long run downside is that it kills shocks quicker, but that's whatever if you want a lower car. I rarely scrape.

how bout cut springs with aftermarket shocks?
Does it matter? Get whatever... I've been riding around on blown fronts, so I have to be careful with my stopping distance and bouncing around a bit but other than that I don't really give a shit.
haha, Mark.

I just re-read the OP, and I would like to completely take back what I've said.
What the FUCK are you doing putting a pregnant woman into an X7?
