Back in the day when I was in high school, I always wanted an S10 Mini but never got one. I did buy a GMC Sonoma in 93 but never lowered it, but put rims and an exhaust on it. The only car I've ever lowered is my current daily driver 2000 Kia Sportage 2wd. Bought some brand new lowering springs off EBay for $50 for 4 springs. I thought that was a good deal, so I installed them.
It's not slammed, only about 1 1/2"-2" drop all around. But it does look sportier and noticeably lower than a stock Sportage.
I also installed 16 TSW Trogen wheels, graphics, and a stereo system that will blow your eardrums.
