Help lowering 2005

[chefdug]

What is the easiest way to lower a 2005? what is the best?

just find the springs that u want to put in and buy them.. ull also need to get your hands on a spring compressor.. you can do without by sitting on them (thats what my friend did) but its dangerous and we wouldnt do that again.. go with the spring compressor they are inexpensive.. lowering your car should be a do it yourself job if you feel up to undertaking it.. its not difficult at all.

Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Anyway, to lower your car you need new springs and shocks. Lots of people I heard about go with Eibach Sportline or Prokit springs and KYB AGX or Tokico Illumina shocks. 1.5 inches is optimal peformance drop. If you want to do it right, DONT just get springs and use stock shocks and DONT cut your stock springs.
If you have an impact wrench, torque wrech, a spring compressor, standard set of sockets/ combination wrenches, a Haynes manual, and some mechanical ability, it shouldnt be too hard to do. Next time do a search before you ask a question... this ones been covered many times over. BTW... welcome to AF

is that even possible to sit on spings and be able to put them in or take them out?

to be fair.. my friend and i were young and stupid back then and wanted to do everything ourselves.. it is possible to compress them with ur own weight but we wouldnt do it again..dangerous..at that point we didnt know a spring compressor existed lol. and btw.. we didnt just buy the springs we bought the shocks too and we had the necessary tools.
