Just installed my 2" drop springs 1 hr ago!
 
That's right...Installed 1 hr ago and they are now for Sale :eek: Too low for my taste! These are TERRA brand springs, TERRA manufactures springs for INTRAX. They are still on my car and i probably won't be able to get them off until next weekend. The actual drop rate is 1.8" and gives the Pro a very aggressive look and cornering capabilities. My price is $110 plus shipping. Please e-mail me at zchild92@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Thanks.
:cool:

UPDATE...Sorry guys the original price was $95, that less than I paid for the springs alone! I forgot I paid for shipping too, so price went up to cover that. Sorry, sorry, (ducking from flames)!!!

how can you tell for sure that they give the car better performance in the corners or how low it 'actually' drops it? they haven't even been on long enough to break in properly. :| and too low? mine is about the same... and it sits pretty high still for being dropped.

Read my post, "too low for my taste". Sorry Bro...I'm getting old! :zzzzz:

BTW. I can tell it bites into the corners harder by the readings I get from my arse dyno!:booty:

I agree with you though about the settling time, it's usually about 1-2 weeks. Which is why I need to get them off, it's just going to get lower.

Your's may be higher cause it's a 3rd Gen, maybe something changed? My Z32 has been slammed too and it has more clearance than my Protege now! :laugh2: Besides my Pro is for winter racing!

I am 32 and my car needs to be just a tad bit lower:)

Is your oil pan 3" from the ground like mine is? :dunno: The sense of security I had in my Pro before is no longer there, I'm afraid to drive down a rough street at normal speed. Changing my route would be stupid, my vehicles accommodate me...I don't accommodate them. The ride feels like it adds a 1 in front of your age! I'm 123... :rolleyes:

Any other 1st gen on this board with a 2" drop would agree about the 3" from the ground thing. 1st gen oil pans are freaking huge!!!

Besides aren't you adjustable? Oh look a snow flake, I think I'll bump my car up 3". :laugh:

If you call coilovers, adjustable I am. I have not raised it up at all, just slammed it and have left it there:)

guy with yellow p5. I do not know if there is a slight hill there in the picture, but your front is higher then your back. It might be due to hill.
