So I've been doing a little searching on the forums for springs review. Initially I was goin to drop with the Eibach PK, but then I thot twice about the roads here. Comparing a lot of pictures, Eibach seems to give about an 1 to maybe 1.2 inch drop from stock. What about Swifts? will swift drop it slightly lower compared to Eibachs? seems like theres alot of good reviews & a subtle drop wont interfere with daily driving. Doesnt sound so bad.
Lastly! I have such a hard time adjusting my chair to comfortable level. If I sit comfortably, which is pretty low, then I cant see the front end too clearly & my turns feel a bit wide bc of overjudging. But if i raise the chair up high to see clearly, then when i try to get out of the car...Im about a foot away from the ground & the dam door is too heavy it keeps on trying to shut on me! Exiting the G is such an ungraceful moment for me
It's my lazy eyes, my bad.

If it makes you feel any better, I have the opposite problem. I have to adjust the seat bottom lower and recline it a little bit to have headroom. And I'm lowered so I have to almost roll out of the car to get my feet under me because I have long legs. But I still look awesomely cool and not goofy like you do.

I say this without a hint of misogyny, but it's because you are a woman. Many women have a harder time with the depth perception needed in turning, parking , etc. My wife will tell you she is the world's worst. As far as seat position, if you lower the car it may help so there's yet another practical reason to drop it. Adjust your seat bottom higher for better visibility. It will increase your visibility and make driving easier. Deal with looking like a goof ball when you get out separately because at least your driving will be safer.

ON THE OTHER HAND! +1 another great reason to get my g lowered. Now...Eibach or Swifts, I'm still deciding. Leanin towards Swift. I already bought 1 new toy for Reggie this month, i shall get it next month You guys are great, thanx for all the comments & help!

i couldve sworn there was some sort of mod (maybe it was a stock function) on a sedan that resets the seat and wheel position when the car is turned off. and when it is turned on it adjusts to the driver's previously saved positioning.

yes, I believe that it's our Occupant Memory System, also linked to individual our keys for the dual presets. But still, that doesnt solve my vertically challenged problem. Thanks for the suggestion though

Seriously, I look funny getting out too for trhe opposite reason. You feel too small for the car, I'm too big. But we are getting out of an awesome car so I dont worry about it too much.

Hey Hey Hey, on another note, our driver preset buttons, those 1, 2 buttons on the driver doorsill. Wouldn't it be cool if pressing 1 would allow us to drive our car in daily driver, under the radar mode & then pressing 2 would be BAM! transform the G into a Super Slammed, sick mods super ride??? eh eh eh? anyone with me here?

We are! You pointed out that you were a big nerd getting out of the car. I just agreed.
