if you really want a drop, the only way to go (IMO) is an air suspension. there are many kits out there and they're not too complicated.

You already have springs and it's not low enough? Are saying that it doesn't LOOK low enough or it's just not low enough? I wouldn't cut any springs, but that's me. You could always go with a slightly taller sidewall to make it look lower.

im looking to be closer to the ground.like that sc in the video.i rather stay with the stock size tires.so i guess the only way to go would be bags.do yall know how they preform under load?would i have trouble with running at the track?i think it would be cool to have them.where would be qa good place to look at?dont want to get junk stuff.thanks again:bigthumb:

I had bags on a truck and the ride was amazing. I autocrossed it a few times and it handled great.
I'll pm you a number to a buddy of mine who put on airbags (on a SS).

if by track you mean drag strip they're actually excellent. pump them up to "full" pressure in the rear and you can make sure the power up front gets put to the ground by avoiding as much weight transfer to the rear as possible.

coilovers still wont' get you as low as bags. plus you'll always have the give of the springs (at the track) whereas w/ bags you could get it to have little to no give to help w/ FWD traction

lol.... I think I've seen this before haha
Coilovers are nice if you want to adjust/tune suspension for going from road racing and back to normal driving.
Id agree w/ the others if you want to go really low and something that can help you with racing then bag that thing man. =)
