lowest spring drop - Page 2

Rpm2 · 04-10-2007, 08:34 PM

Why not get a coilover? Save you from having to get springs later and you can drop the shit out of it.

I have Sportlines....no noise here.

sikassdrummer · 04-10-2007, 11:24 PM

I have the s tech's and i dont get any noise or problems and they give the car the perfect stance without having to go 30mph all the time

disboiflaco · 04-10-2007, 11:34 PM

coilovers are very expensive!

EXcoupe06123 · 04-11-2007, 12:25 AM

do you recomend lowering the car 1'' or 1.5" if I use to load with tons of luggage and people

Rpm2 · 04-11-2007, 12:43 AM

disboiflaco · 04-11-2007, 08:30 PM

I was answering his question! if it was up to me i would go for a 3" drop!

im running Eibach sportlines with 1.5 avg drop...really no clunking and honestly it drives still like it came out of the factory. If you go too much lower your going to have a nasty camber problem and IMO it looks like hell any lower

disboiflaco · 04-12-2007, 08:21 PM

my personal opinion is that it looks super clean low! and i understand that if i go low im going to have camber problems...but dont aftermarket camber arms fix that problem?

Rpm2 · 04-12-2007, 08:26 PM

Yes they do.

To have the lowest springs, you can cut the springs. (I know it's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing)

I guess it depends on the state about that. If you know what you're doing cut springs are not a bad thing, I've riden in cars with cut springs (People who know what they're doing) and they're pretty smooth. But he said lowest springs, which is cut springs.

Alright man. I see what you mean.

But sometimes cut spring is not a bad idea if the person who is cutting the spring knows what they're doing.
