I'm looking to lower my car and have searched the forums to death, but I cannot quite find an answer to this...

I'm pretty big about 6'3 300lbs looking to drop the car... Torn between sportlines and Pro Kit's, I want the drop of the sportlines, but am concerned with scraping and don't know if i should go with the Pro Kits

Anyone have any input?

Sportlines

get the eibach sportlines ftw, the pro-kit is not much of a drop. im about to order the sportlines..

Get the Sportlines. You'll love the drop and you won't scrape. I promise. I have them on my car and I have never scraped.

Lowering springs

How much of a drop do youget with the sportlines and will a 2 inch drop require a camber kit?

 

[R18-Power]

sportlines is a 1.4" drop and with a 2" drop you need a camber kit

 

[marcusaurelius]

some really hard springs with koni yellows at full stiffness

what does being a bigger guy have to do with suspension?
i doubt your car is gonna like sink down if thats what your trying to say

Thanks for the reply. Will a 1.4 inch drop give my FA5 a noticible more agressive stance or would I have to go lower for that. My goal is to not have the rear wheels camber out, for it to look low but not so low that I have to worry about scrapping and to get rid of some wheel well gap.

sure np trust me you will have a more agressive stance, its a perfect drop not too low, just low enough to look good w/o scrapping

check this thread you'll get a better idea.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, that thread was really useful, plenty of good pics to help me make my decision. Only question left is, will a 1.4 inch drop with sportlines require a camber kit?

 

[R18-Power]

I have sportlines and i don't have a camber kit, I would say if its a 2" or more than you need a camber kit, otherwise you don't.

 

[jecf750]

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. R-18 I noticed you have 18" tenzo's. How does that look with a 1.4" drop? Any pics you wouldn't mind posting?

 

[R18-Power]

sure np, IMO its a decent drop but for me its not low enough, Im planing to get coilovers and sure I'll get you some pics this weekend!
