is it hard to put springs on what tools do u need

Mojave · 10-22-2009, 12:25 PM

Not too bad. We have a compression tool and have a lift we are using ,but you dont have to have a lift.

BigFish · 10-26-2009, 05:50 AM

Nice................

Mojave · 10-26-2009, 07:04 AM

Thanks ! The ride and the look are much improved.

Capstone · 10-26-2009, 07:31 AM

Thanks for sharing... That stance looks the way it should from the factory.

monkeywrenching · 10-26-2009, 08:33 AM

How does the ride quality compare to stock? A little stiffer or hardly noticeable?

Mojave · 10-26-2009, 09:21 AM

Exactly what I said too !

The ride is a bit stiffer ,but feels so much better planted. The car over steers so I think this should help balance.

Still rides really well !

looks good, how much drop & cost $?

chrisgalles · 10-26-2009, 11:14 AM

Wow...much better

Can't wait to drop mine 2inches! Looks great!

axis · 10-26-2009, 02:45 PM

They will probably drop a little more after a few hundred miles. It looks good though and will look even better after it finishes settlling.

Chris-10 · 10-26-2009, 04:50 PM

tones2SS · 10-26-2009, 05:43 PM

Looks 100% better!

Mr Smith · 10-26-2009, 05:50 PM

Same as my other post regarding lowering:

Looks cool...Does it take you half an hour to get into a parking lot now? Im also curious about the handling. I have found that when under hard cornering and hitting a little dip or bump in the road unsettles the stock suspension in the car pretty badly..I would think this would make you rebound like you were on a pogo stick.

55Designs · 10-26-2009, 06:39 PM

Looks good what is the drop with those springs and do you know the spring rates?

Qwkss · 10-26-2009, 06:43 PM

Kick Ass!!

Mojave · 10-26-2009, 08:49 PM

from Pfadt - 1 to 1.25 inches of drop for the correct relation between looks and proper function. ran $340

Amazing what a little lowering can do.

Mojave · 10-26-2009, 08:59 PM

It drives really well and takes speed bumps fine. Might worry about parking with curb height.

Did some hard cornering today where the car would normally push the front tire into a slide and now it grips instead. You almost start to see a bit of oversteer ,but very controllable. Overall the car is much "flatter" into the corners and stays "flatter" under hard braking and fast acceleration. No harshness at all and under normal driving conditions only slightly tighter ride which I prefer.

Sorry , not sure what the spring rates are and could not find on their site

Sweet...No binding either huh? Ive found a cure for the pushing by the way..Put your foot further into the throttle...Seriously!
