tell me what yall think. honestly and NO jokes about the big ass dent in the quarterpanel.

 

Damn yahoo. cant see pics. what kinda springs did you use? most likely will drop a little bit more in the first couple days.

 

what did you go w/?

 

if you have prokits, theyll stay about that height. pics dont work

 

sorry im a new yahoo user. had to make them public

 

i went with the suspension techniques. i debated getting the prokit. however i wasent doint the slolom anytime soon or at all so i went with same drop, better ride, and less performance than the prokit. and i got a pretty good deal. $80.00 shipped.

 

what kind of springs are those?

 

suspension techniques

 

what was the drop?

 

only supposed to be 1.5"

 

The springs should settle within 2 weeks. A 1.5" drop is not going to look like a dramatic drop.

ST springs are mainly for looks, not for performance. They give more of a stock like ride for people that want to reduce the fender gap without sacraficing ride comfort. Some people have found them to be too soft at times. Specifically because the car is lowered and the compression of the spring has less movement to travel. I heard some say they can actually bottom out there rear end if there a good size load in the trunk.

Let us know how they work out.

 

alright i sure will. i can see what u mean about the ass botoming out. it doesent normally now but if i had a serious load there thats a different story. alls i got in the back is a 60lb bandpass. i think i might have lost like 5% of the stock ride. handles alittle better, but nothing dramatic.

 

Cut um if its now low enough i wouldnt cut more then a coil though either that or buy some new springs.

 

did you get the speedtechs? It'll lower it a little more.

 

don't cut them period. YOu won't know the exact specs and most likely the car will come out lopsided

 

i dont get it? Did you lower the car will? looks the same to me?!?! maybe im lookin at the wrong pics!?!























haha,...playin!

 

Ah i cut mine because it had the 4x4 look lower in the back and higher in the front, i only cut them half a coil tho and right where i cut it there was a letter so the cuts were exact.

 

i like the drop and the ride. i just heard about setteling, and wasent sure what u guys thought about howmuch it would settle.
thanx for the input though. and d5c5 yea i dropped it, not as much as yours but it is lower than i expected. i think it looks tight. ill take more pics when its clean and doesent have a dent in the side.
