Drop on stock wheels - Questions/Pics please

[Magnumz780]

Okay so I sold my Accord the just yesterday and I will sadly miss it , I owned it for about 7 years. I now own a 2005 Magnum . It is black with tints of course and all else is stock.

I want to lower the car on stock wheels. Not planning on going into rims anymore like my previous car but just a drop and audio.
The gap between the tires and fender is ridiculous it begs a drop,not a slam but just a 1 finger gap.
I am into the Sportlines , and read that I would need a pro damper kit.

What is the usual cost on these so I do not get ripped off??

I love how the ride quality is right now. Its like I am floating.

Will I lost this ride quality and feel every fkin bump when I get these installed?

Will sportlines be low that I will have to go up driveways in angles?

Lot of these questions are noobed the fuk out but I am new here and tried researching and did not find few answers I needed.

help a new member in Edmonton out.

First of all Welcome from North Carolina! Wife and I both have mags; mine is an 06 SRT and her's is an 06 SXT. We just got hers (used) a couple of weeks ago and it already has brand new 1 1/2 drop with lowering springs (don't know the brand, but their RED in color). I noticed it did loose some ride quality and when following her at night I see the headlights jumping at night, but when driving, it's really not that bad. It does look great, but also came with new 22" tires and wheels. And... yes we have to take ramps at angles to keep front spoiler from bottoming out. It my opinion, it's still worth it! Hope this helps a little!(Picture of Tee's Mag with 1 1/2" drop & 22's.)

Your right about the drop... car does beg for at least a little but so far I havent been able to do it.... Im still at stock ride height on 20s.... but then I live in Pittsburgh

nice nice welcome to the club!! the drop makes the car look een better especially with 22's

I went with tenzo spring, which was supposed to give me about 1.5" but I think it is a little more than that. I have stock springs and 20" wheels.....I also attached a picture with my stock 17's.

I have 20's with stock suspension for this week...

A member here, "Jammin wagon" has a sportline drop on 17" wheels with stock shocks/struts. According to him, he's dragging all the time. I don't know if it's the small wheels or stock dampers that cause it. I think it's both.
He's the one to talk to about that particular set-up.

Ive got the eibach pro kit with the stock dampers with the stock 18's, and the ride is still really good it does bounce a little but not bad at all my wife didnt mind the ride at all,I didnt like the soft stock ride but thats just me, it does sit pretty low with the pro kit, I cant imagine driving it with the sportline kit, be careful with driveways, I have scraped in the middle a few times.Oh and by the way welcome from whittier.

I ran a 1.5 drop on the factory 18's for a while and all was fine. Your ride will tighten up a bit with new springs, and I strongly suggest you replace the dampers at the same time....save labor $$ cuz you're gonna need to replace them SOON if you put the lower springs on (any brand). Yes you will have to go over certain driveways and speedbumps at an angle and s l o w l y! You should be able to score an Eibach Pro-Kit (springs and dampers) for around $600. I'm pretty sure you'll find the sportlines to be too low..
