could i drop my car some? Options

[xnightsmokex]

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

[manphibian]

Yes.

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

[stevest202]

very nice looking car yes you can drop spax 40mm or maybe tiens 30 to 35mm

[GotToyota]

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

i got the same skirts and i wanna go lower

[Rusty]

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

[trdproven]

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

[CelicaST_CALI]

i say u go 1.5 inches..

[xnightsmokex]

i say u go 1.5 inches..

will i even be able to make it over a speed bump like that? only 3.5 inches from the ground at the most?

[manphibian]

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

[CelicaST_CALI]

yea a lowered celi is the best celi yes u would have a prob,depending on the bump..

perhaps i could get some eibach pro-kits instead of sportlines to just drop it 1" instead of 1.5". and if i do that, i think i will get some kyb struts....when i get paid that is

angle it over the speed bumbs

[808celica]

angle it over the speed bumbs

if under your bumper or lip isn't scratched up you aint low enough

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
