For me...yes..cuz i'm an impatient S.O.B....heres my advice
for minimal damage...make sure you use a 5/64 bit like it says in the FAQ...don't just find any drill bit laying around....make sure it's 5/64...after you eat enough of the tab so that it's even with the back...see if it will slide out...if not...drill a little bit more...and repeat this process...its really not as bad as it sounds...sorry if i got some people paranoid...like i said...im just very impatient and I went at it like I was drilling Armageddon...Good Luck!! (Be steady and patient!)

It is the Sport Suspension. I plan on lowering it but I dont want too low of a drop or a harsher..
ride. Any Recommendations?
Also, I dont want to spend more than $750 on the suspension parts (not including labor).<p><IMG SRC=" http://home.att.net/~amitch1/images/sigpic.jpg">

It's really easy. As it turns out, it's like tin foil. Be very careful!

Will a 3/32 Drill Bit suffice? That's all I have… I'll buy the 5/32 drill bit, if necessary.

do u mean 3/64 and 5/64???...if so...yes..the 3/64 will do the trick...reason
is because the diameter of the 5/64 bit is the same size as the tab making it easier to drill it away...so going a little smaller to 3/64 wont make much of difference anyways

One word of advice....
No matter what suspension you put on it, make sure you get it set to the proper camber. I bought my car used as it was already lowered, and now I have to get a rim straightened because the camber was so off that it bent the rim. And plus, your tires will wear unevenly. I need new tires too =(<p>~Mike

get Eurosport springs for 280, and bilstein shocks for 484 from shox.com. Total=764.
This is a bit over your limit, but you could then instead get H&R springs or others for less, and then bring the price down to low 700's. Labor would then be another 200 to 300. Those are sweet wheels BTW. I almost wish I had waited and got those. I know LLTek has a wheel very similar to that as well. It's a great design and a good choice on your part. Now lower it!<p>APR V.3,Remus,Eurosports,S4 17" Wheels
