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..

don_don

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...

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...

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

K Dawg ONE

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

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

don_don

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?

Bruce95fmla

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
