  • How Low

    I dont know if this has already been posted, but how much of a drop is everyone running?

    Im still in the market for a set of coilovers or springs and shocks, and a set up that Im looking (ibach prokit and koni yellows) drop the car about 1.7 inches. . . is this a good sized drop?

        H&R sports are apparently 1.6" aren't they? the race are 2.0"

        oh, and i'm lowered ~1.8-2.0", never bothered to measure, but I scrape everywhere

              ya gotta be willing to make sacrifices if you want a bad low machine. if that mean I risk looking like a dork, then that is a risk I am willing to take.

                It all depends on the look you want, do you want low or moderate drop. For me I like the low look so coils was the logical choice as I can get very low in summer but raise it up for winter time. The range for my coils on my car is 55mm - 85mm, so even in winter I will be at 2inchs but probably 3 in the summer

                    Well you kind of need a before and after to really know how much it has changed. You would measure from the center of the wheel to the the fender and compare. If you want to get an idea I can give you my stock measurement and you can compare, but it will not be accurate as every car varies, but ours would be similar.

                      That would be swell... My car goes in tomorrow to have the suspension looked at...i would like to get coilovers, but i still need to do my research.

                            FK are only for golf and its mated to the brullen. thats why the fk had to be custom welded to fit.
