#15635, "Lowering Car"


          

Just wondering how low I should lower my car, what are the best drops that will still give my car road clearance (what do you guys have)? Also, are there any other things you would recommend like shocks, coilovers, etc.?

- Ebay Dual Tip Muffler
- Ebay Front and Rear Strut Bars
- Energy Suspension Motor Mounts

I think ProKits are just thr right amount of drop.....I am running them in conjunction with KYB AGX struts. I am really happy with the setup. I have geard that illuminas are much better as far as ride quality but they are also pretty pricey. Like I said I am very happy with the setup I have.

I had the springs OZ_GS is on and I'm now running H&R's sport w/ my GAB's. The sports are softer than the prokits but I like the H&R's look. I absolutey had zero complains about the prokit!

Shit is all apart. Typical...

It all depends on how YOU like it. I had my car dropped over 3.5in.. lol It was low. I loved it, till I moved to my new apartments where BIG ASS speed bumps are everywhere~ and got stuck one day.. emoji So maybe too low isn't a good thing. Now I got some pro-kits sittin on Illuminas. I think they ride better than stock and looks hell of a lot better!! emoji

well..... first i had matrix coilovers. they put me real low, but they are very cheap and broke (dont ever buy these). so then i went out and got tanabe pro ss coilovers. they dont put me as low as i would like, but i definately like them. they have adjustable struts also, which is a nice feature.

pro-kits are as low as i would go (1.25-1.5 drop) but then again the pothole posse sucks here in ATL so lots of bumps and holes...especially on the express way
