hey can somebody please post pics of lowerd first gens, some with stock wheels and some without. please. thanks

 

Lowered ? Hell, I get mine any lower and I'll have to rent a place to drive it. I already approach all curbed entrances at a 45 degree angle. And speed bumps ought to be outlawed.

 

what? it looks so good when a 7 is lowerd

 

sometimes you think they're lowered but they've actually got too big of wheels and tires shoved up in the fenders and wearing **** out.

 

The most i have ever seen a street bound 7 lowered is an inch. No more. Any more than that and you start to have major problems with things scraping. heck, at stock ride height with stock springs, my car would smash the front sub frame on a curb if I jumped it by accident going out of a driveway.

 

yeah thats all im talkin about, an inch, im not talkin about slamming it to the ground

 

My serious advice about lowering: If you're gonna put a front bumper/airdam on it, do that first, because they won't take lowering. The extended nose changes the angle of the dangle making lowering foolhardy. And ramps ? forget it.

I raised my rear 1" with wheel / tire height so I got a great rake angle.

 

i had an 85 gs that i cut the springs on, and it sat so low that the shocks had NO travel...NONE at all...i drove the car like that for about 30,000 kms believe it or not.

it looked sweet, but rode like a golf cart

ahhh, that car was fun...those were the days

I used Racing Beat springs w/ Tokiko shocks. Lowered the car about an inch. But if you want performance, look at sways. As you can see, I used RB sways. Made all the difference.

 

here's mine I got the tockico illuminas with racingbeat springs. I love it and how it handles. I got the front and rear sway bars from racing beat as well. It handles like a dream. check it.

personally I would have gone with 17's 1 inch lower...but thats not too bad either

 

17s? one inch lower? I've got 15" with eibach lowering springs and tociko illuminas with a wings west body kit...i can't afford to hit a grain of sand!

 

Stock wheels - RB springs....
