Lowering car questions
I've been thinking about lowering my car now that I replaced my 21" wheels with 20s. I'm thinking an 1" drop would give the give the perfect stance. I've got two questions however:
1. What is the best/most dependable brand of springs ya'll recommend? 2. Do I need to buy or do anything additional when lowering the car, or is installing the springs all that's required?

1) They're all about the same. Find a brand that falls within your budget.
2) You need to get an alignment afterwards. Then having a spring compressor helps with the install but isn't really needed.

Is it true that if you lower the car more than 1.25" the handling will suffer? Also what is the max I should lower the car to, or probably what clearance should I keep so that I don't screw up my car when I drive it?
