is 3" drop to much?
 

im just wondering if 3"s is to much of a drop for our pros?
i remem someone saying that our suspension will only allow to a certain drop. also i have 17's on what factor will that play?rubbin?
help me out....:dunno:

i'll be dropping mine 2.25" next week.. i'll let you know.. i have 16's on my car, but the rubber is tall..

what name springs are you going to use?
have you or anyone heard of Terra springs?
they are suppose to be a branch of H&R and they say they lower 3"s...

I bought the B+G Autobahn springs for my protege...

i've never heard of the other name there.. but i haven't heard of much..

let's see
 

don_don when you get that done post some picts up if possible, i would like to see that. I don't have a digital camera myself gonna have to pick one up. But 3 inches sounds like alot, you would have to do some pretty big adjustments to your wheel wells but you wanna drop it 3 inches in the back ok it might be possible, but i don't know if you will be able to do it in the front, because don't forget your wheels will have to turn. ;) ..
How much are most people dropping their cars? I am shopping for suspension myself and i wanna go down 1.5 inches. Not more than that, ( i live in Montreal, the roads are Sh*t can't do much more than that).

i actually changed my mind and im going to stick with intrax to go with the kybs i already have like i originally planned .
i took a measuring tape to it and i think the 3" drop will be to much ...the wheel wells wont take it...:crying:

i also have so cd/slotted rotors that will be here on thurs...just need pads/shoes and paint the calipers...

I dropped mine 1.7" on APEX springs with KYB GR-2 struts...

im now stuck between the intrax and the bg extremes....i need to make up my mind i almost bought the bg's at cs on my creditcard but then decided to do a search in the forums first ...it just confussed me more bruce has bg on with pics but i want just a little more...K dawg one yours looks lower than 1.7 compared to stock...some one help me i dont want to wait much longer moneys burnin hole in pocket....

sorry for the novel just need some to fill me in....pics of either on gen2 would help...

thanx

is this low enougn ,,,,
BG extremes


the car is fairly low to me , and with the front spoiler it scrapes regularly , even when I had 16's on I scraped ..
the springs ride pretty nice and are somewhat stiff.. I am however in the market for stiffer springs but have yet to find any. I am also looking for a stiffer aftermarket bumpstop ....
If you find a spring that goes lower ,,,, then your good

b

will it lower with 17's on ....

been trying to track this terra company down that claims this 3"drop...but i still think it will be to much...

which would u say bg or intrax?

all the same if you ask me ...
Look the same to me to ...

I would probably just go with the intrax.
I think 3" would be to much .. I have bottoming out issues on hard bumps ,, but regular bumps are ok
