85 Delta 88 lower or stock height?

I'm going to be buying 2 new tires for my Delta and I have a coupon for Summit for $50 off $250, so I'm going a step futher and spending $300 for the 6 months at 0% APR

I'm getting my front shocks with the tires, I know the car needs an alingment anyway, so I was going to do front shocks and Eibach lowering springs (lower car 1.2 inches) and get ONE alingment instead of do the front shocks, alingment, lower it, alingment

IDK if I should lower it or not. I was all for it, now I'm on the fence about it. I can still buy the shocks, and stuff them in the closet for a little while

Shocks are going to be KYB Gas-a-just all the way around. Rear shocks are done already

I wouldn't bother. Those stock springs are low enough already in my opinion.

Although I voted no, unless you plan on autocrossing or road racing, the regular ride height looks great as it is.

I voted yes because i've always wanted to see what a delta 88 looks like lowered on eibachs I think it would look mean but thats just my opinion.

The more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm thinking no.

I don't think the car sits low, but then again, the reason most people lower the car is to decrease wheel gap between the fender and tire. That doesn't look too bad in stock forum on this car.

Springs are in the high $200 range, I think Headers would be a more fun investment

I voted no because I prefer cars that are kept as original, also lowered suspension often means ride quality goes out of the window.

But it's your car, so whatever you want to do is right.

I vote no, as the Delta 88 is a classy looking car that looks best stock (in my eyes anyway).
