if you look at the pictures of my car in my profile, the front of the side skirts are kinda low....do you think i could drop it some? like maybe 1" or 1.5"? i just really dont want to tear off my side skirts or my front bumper...but if you look at the car, you can tell it needs to be lowered

Yes.

Once you've lowered it, that's gonna be a beast!

Tanabe GF210's are your answer if you want something stiff, but around 1" of lowering.

dont measure with your hand (it will always be inaccurate) when a spring has a drop between 35mm & 45mm the 1st is when you put the spring in, the later is the maxium drop after the springs settle in


i have super lows in biggrin.gif

We run way lower than that where I'm from, mine is pretty much a two inch drop but I'm thinking three now. It all depends on your streets and the places you got dat you can clear.

the only problem is....if u look closely, you can see that the side skirts arent as high as they should be....this is because when the guy was putting them on...he said there was a gap if he put them up all the way...so he had to move them down a little...so there is only 5 inches between the bottom of my side skirt and the ground....so tell me what you think

IMO it would look better if you lowered it, even if you have to take the skirts off!

if your roads dont suck, go ahead and lower it, I have a very similar kit but the roads here in south florida SUCK, so I would constantly be scraping the bottom
