Can I get more than a 1.4" drop.....

Nighthawk07 · 01-31-2007, 11:12 AM

without resorting to coilovers? I really dont' have the money to dump into coilovers but I feel that a 1.4" drop isn't enough for me. And I'm definitely not doing it the ghetto way.

Sorry I come from the minitruckin world where lower is better lol. I used to have my truck static dropped about 1/2" off the ground and drove it daily like that.

Nope. Not safely or in a way that won't destroy your car's ride quality, center of gravity or handling. Save your money for some Neuspeed springs or something. I think the "race" springs offer a 1.5-2.0" drop.

dang that sucks. Yea I'll just save up my money i guess haha. thanks man.

Skunk2 springs seem to be your answer. I don't know how bad the quality of the ride will be affected though. I think anything beyond 1.4" is pretty crazy on springs.

I think most people would hate anything more than a 1.5 inch drop. You'll scrape the shit out of you front bumper.. and you'll blow your stock shocks in two months.

In my opinion, the 1.5 drop on the s-techs is more than enough. Slammed, no... but low for sure.

anything more than a 1.5 inch drop in my opinion is questionable. I think a 2" drop is going to reduce your ride quality and handling. it all depends on what your using your car for, Track? or Street?

Nighthawk07 · 01-31-2007, 09:16 PM

well if its gonna compromise ride quality that drastically I'll stick with a 1.5" drop. It's gonna be more street than track as this is a daily driver.
