The Vogtland Lowering springs I installed drop it 1.8 inches. No rubbing or scraping issues. Ride is a bit firmer at times.


It is noticeably lowered but not slammed like the one above.

I saw a set of coils BC coils to be exact for CX7 on RPM or streetunit.com for Cx7 for $1000. There is also a Autoexe that wants like $2500 for there set. You can search some japanese websites through google chrome to translate it and see what they have on the JDM side.

Coilovers will really help. Pedders and Vogtland (?) springs drop it a tad, too.
