I'm going to drop mine 1 inch when more options become available. Have you looked at the dropped Hennessey car?

ndnsith · 06-11-2009, 10:05 PM

yes, i looked at the Hennessey car, looks good.....

Chris-10 · 06-11-2009, 10:14 PM

Definitely!!!! lower but not in the weeds.Maybe 1in frt and 2in rr.Just waiting to see a lesser cost option than coil overs.

I'm looking for some springs I don't need a coil over setup. Anyone know of any?

We're currently starting production on lowering springs for the 5th Gen.

I will start a thread once they are available. Please feel free to call or email us anytime!

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

Is that all that would be required is shorter springs, struts would be ok, and how much drop do you think you would be able to achieve without running into clearance issues.

Rob@WretchedMS · 06-13-2009, 10:00 PM

Pedders will have springs available shortly, Our springs will not require damper replacement, though upgrading may not be a bad idea.

Rear springs are available in various heights already, but the fronts are still a bit out.

Jordan, good to hear about your progress.

Hi imsuperdave!

Our Lowering springs will work with the factory strut package; if you're just going for a performance look or you just want to remove some wheel gap, these springs will be perfect. The Lower springs will provide a performance improvement by increasing the spring rate as well as a lower Center of Gravity.

If performance is important our Coil Overs would be the hot set up. With the coil overs you can set any ride height you'd like without compromising shock travel and you have 16 points of damping adjustment. The damping adjustability is important because you can set them up soft for the street and turn them up for performance driving.

Please feel free to call or email us anytime. We're always here to help with questions or general suspension set up. Have a great day.

Kind regards,
