I would like eveyone who has a 1G to post their pics if the car is lowered. Also note the springs and the drop. Thanks.

Brad Macintyre had Eibach Sportlines and KYB GR-2's on his '90 Laser (now Neil Bell's). I think that drop was *perfect*, and looked like that previous picture.

Well, my car's not actually lowered (yet) but here's my photoshopped idea of what it will eventually look like.

I'm not sure how low that actually is, but here's the original pic that I modified. See if you figure it out by putting them side by side.

[Linked Image]

The car would probably handle kind of crappy being that low, but I do agree it would look sweeeeeeet.

I bought some H&R springs last winter that are supposed to give a 1.75" drop. That sounds about right, probably the lowest you'd want to go on a 1G without having suspension/alignment problems. Now all I need is some nice Konis or AGX's so I can finally mount these sweet springs!

Hey Joe, I'm shooting for the exact same setup as you have (except H&R springs). How did each upgrade effect the handling of the car? Anything on that list that was more of a pain to install than it was a help?

I didn't do the install myself so I can't really answer that.

Handling is fanstastic specially with the 17x8 momos and BFG R1s.

Can be quite harsh for everyday driving but having the adjustable KYBs helps a lot.
