Got Drop?

Manoga00 · 09-01-2004, 08:57 AM

Hey Fellas,

Just dropped the ride last week with Tido_29's help. We installed some Sprint Performance springs, 1.5 drop all the way around. Let me know what you think?

nice, are those 18's.

Manoga00 · 09-01-2004, 09:12 AM

Yeah, 18" x 7.5" just might look off since the lip itself is curved out like an inch

blackGT420 · 09-01-2004, 09:41 AM

Nice, looks good. I think next spring I am gettin 18's and drop.

mr_eh · 09-01-2004, 09:41 AM

hows the ride with them? I've been eyeing these springs for a while

Manoga00 · 09-01-2004, 09:57 AM

I'm not going to lie, you loose some stiffness from you shocks and I've also notice that the car is a little bit more springy going over non-flat surfaces, but I love the look of them on the car, especially in the back, and also like how they handle corners....MEAN!

yeah i really dont care how they ride to be honest with you, they look nice, bouncyness isnt a big deal, as long as the car isn't flipping over when i take a turn at 50 imhappy

Well said.
If ya want to lower your car and have stock ride quality at the same time then lowering your car isnt for you.

Drop looks nice, Im guessing you have a sound system, cause the rear is real low

Thanks, yeah I do. I noticed that when I first put the springs on...and I was like, "WOW that's low".

UNCTYPE-S · 09-02-2004, 07:38 AM

maybe theirs a focktard in the trunk.

tido_29 · 09-02-2004, 07:42 AM

naw nobody in the trunk to make it look lower.. we both were suprised that it went that low.. besides, there is a system in the car.. the box is pretty heavy adding to the drop.

*not the guys who made it obvious that someone was standing in the trunk to make it look lower..*

MafiatRomo · 09-02-2004, 08:23 AM

looking good...ima have to get a drop now....

Manoga00 · 09-02-2004, 08:36 AM

Thanks for the comments. yeah I'll be posting more pics as soon as I'm done with the GT conversion that i'm trying to finish. So far I already have the front bumper and side skirts and only need the rear bumper to complete and as soon as I get the bmpr, paint, and install, I'll post them up. Thanks again.

ArcticWhiteSE · 09-02-2004, 04:32 PM

I hope that system in your trunk is about 200 lbs....otherwise I'm sticking with H&R's.
(H&R's even with a ton of weight in the trunk still only sit level.)
I cannot stand ass sagging cars. There's no excuse for it. That's another reason why NOONE sits in the back of my car. WOOT!!

Ass sagging =

Rich · 09-02-2004, 05:28 PM

^^ i dont think the rear is sagging that much. it just looks really level. to me at least. ive seen much worse.
