Lowered but not low enough

i just put on some new parts... Kyb gr-2's with ebay coilovers (i know what u all think about the setup and i know its now the best). the bumpstops are cut in half and i can still stick 2-2 1/2 fingers in there... i have 16's with 205 40 series tires... will Tein or ground control camber plates give me an extra drop? if i had b13 front struts would it be tucked/no gap?

that is the worst combo you could have. the gr2's are direct replacements and i wont even get started on the ebcay coilovers, but ill put this in the right section, i let the suspension guys help you.

if you read the stickys then you would know that you cant "slam" your car to the ground. We have no suspension travel.

You WILL care after an emergency maneuver. It will suck to lose control of your car and not be able to turn it correctly.

buy some real coilvers and then figure out how to fix the rest of the suspension problems.

you know the ebay sleeves are crap and since they're not low enough for your ricer tastes, then you're going to have to buy better parts.

None absolutly ZERO... it's an accident waiting to happen..


There are ways to do it correctly... before you do your next mod do a little research and you'll save money in the long run..

He already stated that he does not need to be flamed for an impractical, unsafe setup that might injure him or someone else. He doesn't want to read the stickies at the top of the page that explain why what he wants to do is dangerous with our cars. As long as he looks cool, its all good. I hope no one gets hurt by your downgraded suspension (yes, its a step down from stock).

but it looks nice.


kid, you can really fix it as combanation is just horrible. Even if you bought the camber plate, that wouldnt garentee you to be able to fix the problem. There are proper ways to do something. we aren't tryin to put you down, but all the cheapest parts wont help.

well its lowered now with half of the bumpstop cut and its not really that bad to me... its almost the same as sprint springs with stock shocks... i am saving my money for tein basics in the mean time... i've just been sitting way to tall for too long now, i just had to do it... i hate seeing so much wheel gap

kid, if the tein basics are too much for you. You can always go for the AGX/Ground control setup. That is a good setup but you can always try the hyper springs or whatever. We are not flaming you BUT the gr2 were a bad idea. If anything you could have stayed with stock and cut the bumpstops. Just giving you my opinion, anyways car looks nice and take it easy on the street. Hate to see a nice car (along w/ the driver) trashed.

i was really wanting to get the gc and agx combo but that right there is out of my budget... 300+ for gc's and 300+ for the agx's... and for the springs, there are none that offer the drop i need, i mean i have sprint's that have a 2 inch drop and it was still sitting really high... but sooner or later i am goin with tein, but for now im happy w my ride.. for once
