Default Hello All from Southern Cali

Hello Everyone,

My name is Rick. I'm new to the site as well. I'm looking forward to reading about all the projects and tech advice. I bought a used 94 galant ES from a private owner about a year ago, and am now looking to "spice" it up a bit. It has the sport suspension on it and I love the ride, however I'm bottoming out a lot and think that I need to raise it. Do you guys know how low it can be so that I do not hit every stinking speed bump with my bumper?

Thanks!

Thanks Tidus. The only issue I have is that the veh was dropped already when i bought it. So you're saying to get 3" springs?

slotted and drilled :-) brimbo makes a big brake kit but then you also need bigger rims to fit the brakes
