1 inch :huh: I got the suspension tec 2" front and 1.9 rear and It is not really that low, and I love the ride, got my set for about 130.
Man one inch isnt gonna even matter.
Slam it. 2 inches or more.
Cause if you do one inch youre just gonna want more later & you know it.
I wouldn't bother, am pretty sure you can still get a set of 1" drop springs off tokico's web site for only $65.Quote:

I'll also agree with the others and say that our cars have allot of fender gap and 1" just won't really make much difference. I was barely satisfied with the 1.5" drop I had, which btw never made me slow down for speed bumps or driveways to it's not to low.
And don't get into believeing that you don't need to get firmer struts just because it's such a mild drop. All lowering springs, including the eibachs and tokico's are stiffer and need struts that can match their power, or you will have bounce and control issues.
yeah go at least 1.5". I've seen 1" lowerings, and you can't even tell man.
actually they are only $59 for all for of the tokicos now, i just checked today! i'd go for those, good luck though. the reason i went for the tokicos is because i only wanted a 1" to 1.5" drop also. see i want to lower it more BUT i go snowboarding a LOT in my car and i also go up to the mountains to go swimming, mtn biking, hiking, everything, maybe a little drinkin too. but overall i just wanted the better handling and performance. go for the tokicos, thats a hella cheap price for a nice set of springs that are normally $249
Man for some reason I cant stop laughin. I'm just thinkin about a 3G goin up mountains. Thas funny to me.Quote:

1 in aint gonna make much of a differance in handleing if any
Lowering a car helps lower the center of gravity, but the higher spring rate in lowering springs is what makes the biggest difference. The B&G springs that I hear are popular with autocrossers are only supposed to have 1.5" drop, but they do have the highest spring rate of anything made for our cars.
How about some of those springs that are on ebay? Arospeed, Dropzone, and Goldline.
i agree, 1 inch won't be noticed. i am pretty happy with my 1 1/2" drop, especially because i didn't need any camber correction. i do have to slow down for speed bumps, a lot, but i love the way it handles. i would definitly recommend going at least 2 though. and if you wanna go snowboarding or something like InfinityAudioLXi said, it is awsome for twisty mountain roads.
id say 2 1/4 or 21/2
allright, well on ebay they have springs that are 2.5" so I bid on those. where can I find a good price for 2 camber kits? (front and back)
Dude I live in the Shenandoah Valley and a lot of my friends are east of the Blue Ridge at UVa... so I drive up mountains quite a bit and let me tell you, my shit is weak. :(
1" is noticeable to the owner but not others. But just because it's a 1" drop doesn't mean it won't make much of a difference. The Prokits combined with the Tokicos made a huge difference over stock. It's the spring rate that counts. Go with a company that has a very reputable name with springs that last and not just the amount of drop/cheap price.
LOL, yup I bounce then I have to regain control. Nah it's not that bad...Quote:

I still ride on my stock 6 + year old struts.
me too
Been their done that, when you finally get those springs under control it will transform your car. I'd imagine that with the cost of living being so high in your area, that your roads are in better shape than around here, just a guess.Quote:
