well lower center of gravity is good, but i dont take turns at 35 in snow

. but wouldnt the lessening of the ground clearence out weigh what that adds?

WeibSunder · 07-15-2007, 03:23 PM

I don't see how lowering a car will keep a car from sliding around on the snow.

kse73 · 07-15-2007, 03:37 PM

Body roll equates to momentum in directions other than the one you want to go. Less body roll = less force acting against your direction of travel.

Thats my guess at least.

WeibSunder · 07-15-2007, 04:43 PM

But what I'm thinking about is the rear of the car swinging around. The momentum of mass, and then the tires losing grip on snow/ice.

Vampyrate · 07-15-2007, 06:29 PM

well, the lower center of gravity is just like the ets... it helps... but slightly

ancona46 · 07-15-2007, 06:33 PM

i dont see the difference still looks kinda high....maybe its just my eyes

regardless its a nice car!

Vampyrate · 07-15-2007, 06:59 PM

H&Rs don't look like it is much of a drop, but when it settles and you go to get in/out of it, you can tell

WeibSunder · 07-15-2007, 07:05 PM

Maybe the H&R springs just stiffens the ride and gives it better handling with a very small drop.

kse73 · 07-15-2007, 07:27 PM

H&Rs give a 1.5-2" drop when settled. They maintain the raked look so the rear will still appear higher for that "aggressive" stance.

Jake · 07-15-2007, 10:56 PM

I have dual post mirrors noob incase you are blind. I told u on aim 3 times, theres 3 things holding them in place, 2 of mine are broke, so why risk painting them, then one breaking or seomthing, might as well just get new ones then paint.

handeling is much better. I zip around most turns at 60ish (kmh)

Jake · 07-15-2007, 11:01 PM

I dont have the exact website on top of my head, look on the second page of stuff wanted. under Bryanwhitegt's post where he was wanting an sc/t spoiler, WilliamGt posted a site that sells em. the company is called like wood dash experts.

cardude007617 · 07-15-2007, 11:02 PM
