#29031, "Lowering Springs on Turbo and N/T"


          

Can lowering springs for turbo 2g's be used on our cars? If so, how much of a difference is there in the drop?

Yes they can be used and will not cause hardly any difference. The GST springs are the same as ours, and the GSX springs I believe have a different spring rate because of the added weight in the rear of the vehicle.

he can use gsx springs, they are just going to be stiffer, that is all. But its just better to stay away from them if you want your car to ride the way the manufacture intended for the car to handle with their spring setup
