Hey i'm gonna lower the car pretty soon but i need to know whats good to go with i got choice between coils and springs?? but all i want is a good drop thats about less then a finger gap between the wheel and fenders pictures and please tell me what your lowered on. Thanks guys

-roflrofl

 

wow, coils or springs . . . there is a FAT price difference. if you want the handling and everything go with some coils, but if you just wanna dump it just get some springs

 

If you're just looking for a finger to two fingers worth of a drop, just go with springs. Something like Tein H or S techs. Coilovers are WAR more expensive.

here is a pic of my car...... no finger gap in rear..... tires tucked in the front(i think its like a 5-6 inch drop) i got TEIN FLEX. hope this helps.

wow...thats sexy

 

would be more sexy if i had.......... steel grey or black TORQUES. i probably going to SLAMMMM the crap out of it just to see how it looks(just for pics). but cant drive it cuz hawaii roads are so messed up!

 

how low can tien type flexs go? in the brochure i have it only advertises like a 1.75 F and 2 R drop? i know they are adjustable but what are the limits?

 

sorry its kinda dark.

 

YOU CAN GO VERY LOW! you can adjust on the body of it and you can adjust spring. i adjusted little above than half way on the body and adjusted the spring just alittle. and its that low. it can go lower but it would be just stupid. <i think its like that cuz if you get like bigger rims and stuff you can adjust them more.

 

i need some flexs....my goal is slam hard and join the slammed club..harhar

 

If you get just springs thier pertty much just for looks, and probably will make cornering worse for your car...

if you lower too much with just springs you may blow out your stock struts eventually...

coils are the whole package, but they cost at least 1k-2k. If all your looking for is looks then springs is okay i guess

 

go all out..... buy the whole coilover setup! you are probably going to upgrade to it anyways. ........coilovers all one piece anyways.... quicker install. i did it..... join the slammed club like mrruins and many others. :banana:

 

you adjusted the pretensioned spring perch? why? i have tein flex also and when i slammed my car (tucking front and rear) i still had over 2 inches left on the shock body. changing the spring rate adversly affects handling of the car.

i am currently running 2 finger spaces front and 1 in the back for performance reasons.


edit: if your car has been corner weighted then i retract my statement about adjusting the preload

 

i got to readjust it. so if i the shock body lower..... that changes the spring tension? give me the basics(tips) on this. thanks

 

hey can i get a close up picture of ur front wheel? and the rear wheel as well? thanks man thats a little to intense i would raise it just a little like 1 inch
