2630, some lowering/handeling questions
Posted by ride, Jun-01-01 04:16 PM
hey all, i have been wanting to lower my car for a while now, i really think our cars are sexy as hell lowered, but i do not want to get something that hurts my handeling. i want to know which coilover kits are good. basicly i just want to have better handeling and looks. i am really not stupid when it comes to cars but i have no experience, please let me know what you all think. thanks

Lowering the car will improve looks and handling. You can't lose man. I have skunk2 coilovers, and I'm impressed.

cyan said the maxspeed's are pretty good and a lot cheaper than the skunk's and other name brands.

what all do you have to do to change the height of coilovers? and when you get them is that all you have to buy?

you guys like the coilovers?? my sister's boyfriend had a maxspeed and illuminas on his car and it rides like crap! Also, if you lower the car enough and put it on a lift, you can see the springs isn't even sitting in the perch. I have sprint suspension 2 in drop springs and tokico HPs and I love it. unless its the full coilover but those cost way too much! just my 2 cents...
