I've been asked a few times about my 1.4 Front, 1.1 Rear drop and here's my first picture... I must say- going from the stock struts with those springs to the Tokico illumina's, it dropped almost another inch... I'm lovin it!

Thanks Rick...

What kind of springs did you use?

I used Suspension Technique springs... I cut the hell out of my bumper stops though- i'm guessing that put me down lower.

A newbie here. Just wanted to know what was meant by cutting the bumper stops?

Planning on getting Neuspeeds Sports (alignment reason) and KYB AGX. Is this a good setup? And do I have to worry about the Neuspeeds once being settled lowering to 2" which should be 1.7"?

Thx.

Welcome... The bump stops (sorry- i wrote bumper stops- hehe)Well... "Definition: Rubber bumpers (often cone or wedge shaped) on the chassis that limit suspension travel. "Bottoming out" the suspension means hitting the bump stops."
They are (lets say) 6 inches long... I cut them evenly to be (i forget) 3 inches long... So, the suspension sits lower- Or something :P

nice drop. i am lookin into getting my car lowered also. i was wondering since u put those tokico's on and your car dropped more did u need a camber kit.

Thanks... I should probably get a camber kit but... I'm not going to worry about it 'til it starts getting colder- I think i'll have a hard time in the snow. I'm just gonna rotate more frequently for now.

How is the ride with the Tokico Illuminas?

soft stiff???

97CL2.2

I set the front at 3 and 4 in the rear... It's pretty stiff... I had to tilt my seat up a little cuz my back was starting to feel it.
~Before i got them, i used to think it was funny when people said things like that ... nope, it's true~
I haven't played w/ them much yet. But i'll be going on a drive in a couple weeks so i'm gonna change'em up a little.
I could only imagine what 4-5 would be like- one of these days.
So YES, they are stiff.
