I want to lower the car and I'm wondering what specific set of H&R's and Bilsteins will work with it. Someone was telling me that with a touring the extra weight could cause a problem? I sound really dumb right about now but if anyone could post examples of their setups, it would be greatly appreciated.

Currently I have a stock suspension with M3 springs in the front, I like the raked look of having the front sit lower then the back.

even with a 60/40 drop, I'll probably add another set of spring pads in the back to raise it up slightly. What say u?

PS. riding on 17 inch wheels and tired of the 4X4 look.

H&R do a cup 60/40 kit for a cab, which would be same a the touring weight wise. I'm sure you can get the springs on they're own and get Bilstein B8 shocks maybe.

I have 40mm Eibach springs on my touring and the back sits a bit higher than the front.
