#29359, "blitz body kit + tokico shocks/springs too low?"


          

anyone have the same setup? i heard the minimum drop on these are 1-1.25"??? i don't wanna end up slamming the thing to the ground cause we got some crappy ass roads around here. btw i have 18" wheels but there's still enough space between my tires and fenders which i dont like. the car feels so damn bumpy and while it was in the shop getting other shit fixed i told the mechanic to test the stock suspension to see if it was bad. he said it was still fine.. could it be something else?
also should i go for a front/rear camber kit or just rear? i dont wanna waste any extra money..
thx.

I'm dropped 2" on Sportlines, run 215/45/17s and have a fiberglass Blitz kit, roads here can get pretty bad and there are plenty of steep driveways but I very very rarely scrape. As long as you're careful and stay aware of how low you are when driving you should be fine. If your shocks checked out ok I'd say the bumpiness is mostly a result of the short tire sidewalls you have with the 18s.
