#8042, "3" drop and 18s"


          

Im going with some 18x8 Konig Verdicts with some 225/40/18 Yokahama Paradas and a set of Ground Control coilovers or cliped eibach springs, will I have any problems droping it 3 inches?

I don't know what the roads around you are like man, but I'd be scraping everywhere if I was dropped 3". Don't cut springs, get the coilovers.

I just dropped mine 2.25" tonight and I am running 17's on her. I'm afraid I went to low. First when I took it down off the jack stands and went to pull the jack out it was stuck...LOL I had to lift the car while my dad pulled out the jack. I measured the jack and it is 3 1/2"s tall. So I will most likely drag speed bumps if I am not careful. If I were you I wouldn't go below what I dropped mine. With the 18's you will have a little more but not much more ground clearance. But she sure does look pretty sitting down there

that's the layout from front(top) to back(bottom). be careful and you should be ok. if your front is fiberglass, be very careful!

Hey allen.... im dropped about the same amount. I have to lift the car to get the jack under the car. One trick is if you have two jacks or jack stands is jack up the rear of the car, you can get a jack under there. That lifts the side enough to get a jack under it.

Cool man I will keep that in mind when changing the oil. I got a 4 wheel alignment today and all I can say is OMG!!! Handles like a dream now and rides allot better than I thought it would. Any of you guys going to be in Atlanta this weekend? There is a show at NOPI in Snellville. If your there look for the silver RS with NC plates on it.
