Hey guys,
I know I am going to ruffle some feathers here on an offroad forum asking about lowering springs, but I am not sure where else to turn. There is very little information about it online, as it seems everyone and their uncle slaps a 2" lift on these babies and honestly, thats originally what I had planned on doing to mine.
Unfortunately, as I was trying to get it saftied about a month ago (I wanted to get a car again), I was told I had an insta-fail due to underbody rust and since I am not a great mechanic and dont have a lot of money, I realized I wouldn't be able to sell my truck anymore, but I still have the urge for something low and fast. I've always wanted to do something different than what is normally seen with certain cars (ex had all parts picked out and priced to lift my old 02 Jetta VR6 until the timing chain needed to be changed for $2k+), so I decided I want to make this more of a performance truck, because lift kits + all accessories needed to make it an offroad beast would cost much more (hypothetically) than just lowering it. Plus, I'm not much of an offroader ?
Anyways, so far through my research I have only found this thread:
Which lead me to these

But, alas they're R51 Coils. So now I am wondering is it even possible to lower an R50 without cutting the springs or buying a whole new shock setup to accommodate different springs?
Thanks for any help, and if you just want to tell me I'm dumb for lowering a Pathy, trust me I know.
Here she is btw
