5668, raise or not?
Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
OK. Sportlines, 17's and 205-40-17 tires. I got blitz type 2's. It is gonna be low as hell. Do any of u have a similar setup>? Any problems scraping the sides?

Don't worry 9D9, it won't be TOO low, or at least it shouldn't be. The type 2's are only slightly lower than stock side skirts, and people roll around with lower drops that sportlines with no probs. You usually don't scrape the sides or rear much. It's the front that takes the most abuse on driveways.

Dude, relax. You won't srape them unless you lower you car a LOT. My sidekirts drop pretty low, and my car is lowered 1.5", I dont have problems scraping them ever, its the front that gets me on my driveway. In a few months when I get my new struts, I'm gonna go even lower, and I'm not worried about the sides, just the front bumper.

Hopefully I can talk my mom into having our driveway redone where it meets the street. Right now there is a 'dip', just have to get it filled. :-)

u got type 2's evan. They are the same as mine. I'd like it if u did take a pic. I wanna see how the underside compares to the sideskirts when they are on the car. I'd love it if someone would get a pic of this. I am gonna get them on after the 26th anyways. If I scrape them, I'll just take them off until I can fix things. That simple.

I dunno. Seems like everyone loves the prokit and hates sportlines.

I think I need to raise it up. I have heard that sportlines lower a car.....1.6,2.0,2.25,then 2.5" I dunno. It looks low as fuck. Anyone got a comparison between sportlines and pro kits? I saw RRE, but the pic is shitty of prokits b/c the sideskirts don't match the car.

Don't worry. FOR SURE you DON'T need to raise it. People are dropped 3" with blitz type 2's like evan with no probs. Cyan is dropped almost 5" with invader skirts (that are lower than type 2's).
