im stuck in a bit of a dilema
i have a stock 03 awd magna on 19inch wheels
now i want to lower it to look better but also im after a bit of a better ride.
i have heard of king springs but i dont no if i should go low or super low
i dont want it to scrub but i want to maintain that nice ride feeling as well
i have searched but havent found much help.

also is there any cold air intake systems that can be purchased for this car?

any what other little things could be done to improve the car?
thanks

Check out the sponsors section at bottom of forum title lists, Raptor superchargers has SC systems and Hi performance Street Fighter intake manifolds.

Other mods like extractors and exhaust all wake up your engine as well, plenty help here once people become aware of your post

If you want a better ride budget for new shocks as well.

Scrubbing will depend on the width and offset of your rims. A lot of people on the forums have wheels around that size while lowered and don't have issues with scrubbing.

With King Springs, Superlows are only available at the front, to keep the distance between the wheel and the guard the same front and back. Lows all round perform and ride better. If you go for new shocks too (KYB or Boge are the value-for-money picks), it should still ride alright - in fact, I actually prefer my car's ride after lowering than when stock. Not to mention that it handles a lot better.

1) Whiteline rear adjustable sway bar.
2) Whitleine Front camber pins st to between 1 and 1.5° Negative
3) Whiteline front castor bushes
3) Whiteline fron bigger sway bar.
4) Kings SP. slightly lower than the standard AWD but a bit stiffer
5) Shock absorbers. in order of effect. KYB's then Koni yellow adjustables.

Then it will handle properly!!
