Lowering on stock suspension

[Sp33dY]

Springs wont be captive if you chop them that much though ? When u raise the car on a hoist, the springs would be flopping around? Right? This sounds very dodgy to me.

after you did your lowering job, could you not just take it to a shop and have them do the alignment?
sorry to revive an old post.

I put my Festiva on air a few years ago... It laid about an inch off the ground when it was down the whole way.

yeah you dont have to do an alignment yourself . . . same with doing the aspire swap you will want to get it aligned. if you live a good distance from the shop you might want to consider trailering . . . remember your cars out of alignment when you take it there so is you drive you put extra wear on your tires.
