I would like to drop my car but am afraid of messing up my front apron. The roads over here are not the best, not really pot holes but up and down roads ex. surges of concrete getting hot and buckleling. I would get the eibach pro-kit or some Tein's. The Tein's would give me about an 1" in drop which wouldnt lower it to drastically. Y'all let me know y'alls experiences. EX: Regular travel, dips in roads, speed bumps, elevated driveways. Thanks

im gonna drop mine 40mm/1"3/4,might get away with 70 mm but thats too much for you,im also putting a 404 kit on which will make it another 35mm lower along with the "17,should be ok,how far does yours sit off the floor,you could try soms koni adjustables and set it hard as fcuk,just a thought

i have the vader...2.5" drop and with 14s you need to be VERY careful...with 18s i'm pretty good but steep drives you need to take it slow

i had the 15"s with a 404A lip and the Sportlines.
I was fine, as long as you are careful w/ ramps and such, you should be fine. The stiffered the springs the less of the amplitude of the oscillation from w/e-it-may-be...
so the chance of smacking into the ground MAY ultimately be lowered...

I got tein lowering springs and the invader front bumper. I can't get over speed bumps, hahaha. I dunno if u can see my sig pic that well, but I'm sitting right over a drain dip and the front end is touching the ground and I couldn't back up any further.

what about s-techs, 404 front and 16 inch gts rims?

thanks forkee, i really want to lower it but dont want the problems of scraping

just do it you'll be fine just use common sense and don't go 40 over a speed bump.....go at an angle and SLOW you'll be fine

see my sig VVVV thats 6" above ground wtih 14" i was 2" above ground....just use common sense and i was fine

your car looks hella low as it is man, i wouldnt worry about doing anything to it

I got major scrapping problems on driveways. I make speedbumps, but driveways I got to take at an angle. My rear is extremely low. I got to get airbags, thats the solution.

lol airbags ride like crap......but if your smart you won't scrape....

and j factor....i looks low cause he's in grass thats another 3" so thats about 9 off the ground

to be the man in england you need to be in maxpower mag,there are loads of **** eurotrash cars[saxo,corsa ,i have a fully modded corsa ,cant compare to a jap car] and it needs "18+,sittin 20mm from the ground at the most,check them out on www.maxpower.co.uk
