Looks really good man!

 

You need to go lower and it will look way better

 

The car is lowered substantially. I have a low profile racing jack and I can barely get to front cross member. I feel like the rears will look better when I install new tires; they are worn past the tread indicators Also, this is still the trial height as the coils were just installed.

 

****! I realize now that my tire sizes are listed on the opposite wheels. They should be:
Front: 204/40/17
Rear:245/40/17

Sorry!

 

How much have you lowered you car ?

 

if you dont have to drive your car on boards or similar objects to get a low pro jack under just the body....youre not low enough

 

I haven't measured hub to the ground yet, but its pretty ****** low. I debated dropping it more but I am switching to 45 series sidewalls and I am going to need the clearance (I like the meaty tire appearance over super low pros). I will update with better pictures with the new rears tomorrow.

 

The 40 series isn't too low profile. I mean, its low, but not terrible. Measurements of your frame to ground? or body to ground?

 

I just don't like the ride of a 40 series. Also, frame to ground is 4.5", body is around 3.5". I could go lower, but that would only exacerbate my rear camber and make my wack *** offset more noticeable. Definitely need spacers with a +40 offset and rear camber adjustment links to add some positive to the rear.

 

RTY PWR is right, there's no such thing as too low.

#boutdatlife comes to mind. Pretty soon I won't be able to drive onto popsicle sticks.

 

I do want to go a bit lower. However, I'm thinking that will just exaggerate the positive offset I have. Maybe a 15mm for the front, then I can drop the *****.

 

I need spacers. 20mm and 10mm. Send me links. Naaaaaooooooo.

 

beautiful ride

 

Any of you guys sagging springs? My BC's just dont go low enough in the back. Does it hurt the coilover or anything?

 

Not "sagging" but drooping, yes.

Just lower the spring perch in the rear. Really, I would only do it about 1.5-2".

1" is perfectly fine though.

RadioX7 has his drooped like 4" hahaha, and it has been like that for a LONG time. Still no problems. His **** literally hits the bump stops. And his cx racing coilovers are still kickin'


Don't over do it, just do an inch and you'll be good.

 

Thanks for the info man. Back in FL everyone calls it sagging haha. I'll probably only do an inch. Would like to do more but I got to get used to driving in AZ. Scrape everywhere, I was spoiled back in FL!

 

Updated pics as promised

 

This is what I did almost a year ago

 

Looks CLEAN

 

Im "drooping" my Megan streets, and have been for about 2 years, with no issue. have mine drooped about 2" or so. but yea, as beach said, dont over do it.

 

I've been wanting/waiting to post in this thread for a while now. I think I now qualify...lol
This is a result of everyone's info and comments in this thread. Thanx lol


18x9.5 +22 225/40f
18x10.5 +22 245/40r

 

Looks good man!

 

That fitment looks fantastic.

 

So, with the specs I posted earlier; what size spacers would you recommend for front and rear to bring it flush? I feel 15mm in the front would be appropriate. As for the rear... 5mm or 10mm? I have a rear camber bar as well to dial in some more positive camber.

Thanks in advance.

 

Sure, let's all just gloss over this ******* EPIC rear hatch visor! I've never seen one like this, what is this thing??

PS. Are those Vossens? They look fantastic!
