i just put 19's on my csvt and i wanted to drop it. i have the blue csvt by the way. i wanted to drop it about 2-2.5 in the front and1.5-2 in the rear but i didn't want to go with coilover because the ride is too bumpy. should i get some after market springs and cut the top to my likings or what?

welcome to ceg!
go with ground control coilovers, you can adjust the height and gain more clearance for your 19,s.
what part of cali are you from?

Did this guy say what kinda struts he has? I'd venture to say that he blew his struts by having the GCs set real low and that gives a crappy ride,, I don't think the GCs themselves cause a poor ride.

well unless you want your car to ride like crap too...u better get new struts

also, if you're wanting it to drop that much...you better get the B+G Autobahns instead of the regular B+G.

but be prepared, u will probably have to roll your fenders...
