lowering my car?

[NYorkrider]

How do I lower my car, im new to suspension. Would I just have to get shorter springs and put those on or would I have to get diffrent axles and stuff...how hard is it to lower a car and how do you do it? I never did it before, any info would be helpful
thanks

Easiest way would be to get new springs which are shorter, that is all you would need to do it! A lot of guys change their struts with their springs but it is not necessary.

There's a pretty good how to posted on the site.
Just do a search for changing springs. I think it's called "changing your springs" It's got some pictures and everything.

i put S/T lowering springs on my stock struts that had around 70k on them, and they were donezo after like 3k with the S/T's so i bought the KYB GR-2s

I lowered my car a month or so ago and its very squeeky, is this expected to go away or will I nee new struts? (the car has almost 200,000 km on with original struts)

yes if its your struts it would be squeaky when u turn or go up/down a bump at lower speeds, is that the case?

yeah, slow speed bumps, not so much in steering more on rough road. I know its not my strut mounts, they were repalce at the same time as the springs. How much did the KYB GR-2 cost and where from?

I have Eibachs and KYB GR2's.

I paid $250 for the set of KYB's on PFYC. but Summit and Jegs have them too

tirerack.com has them as well for $50 each when i bought mine. But that was like two years ago.
