Need pics of your lowered FC's please.
 

Please post pics of your FC's and list the suspension mods you have. Im going to be getting 17's eventually and I wanna know how low I wanna go and what it looks like. I already searched, i did find some lowered 2nd gens, but I just didnt find out what i was looking for.

Thanks

here. these are RB springs. 17 wheels. not too low. i think its just right. i am missing the front lip which makes the front end look higher. I had rubbing issues with my 225 tires in the front. i had to "roll" the fenders.

looks good... neone else with there car lower then that?

heres mine, i dont know the amoun lowered, just lowered the coilover until i liked it...

heres 2 bad pics.... but you get the idea.... i couldnt find anything that would lower my car low enough so i just cut the springs..... it still rides pretty good! im thinking of getting some tien coilovers... but dont know how low they go! oh, those are 17x7 motegi mr4, w/ 205/45zr17 front and 215/45zr17 rear

Here's a picture of my old setup (soon to be old :P)

Using stock struts and intrax springs.. I'd never buy those springs again, IMO, they are way too soft.

i like how low the intrax springs made your car sit. what size rims and tires are on the car?

The guy that sold me my first (couple months ago) FC cut the springs... didn't know about it, thought the car just rode low haha... Well he also put some weird support bars inbetween the springs so that they wouldn't dip too low and bottom out the car... so... it was cutting the springs done... right? Haha

Anyway, I didn't notice for a while... and the new shell I got really shows off the difference.

(BTW yes the lowered one was in an accident with some fucker running a red light, no frame damage but plenty of cosmetic to total the car)

Started getting dark already, but I grab a few quickies plus some other pics I already had.

edit: typo

I just installed Tokico shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit .8 inch lowering springs on my car last night.. My old (read: original) suspension was so shot that it raised my car up about .5 inch... damn were those front shocks shot!

my car:

Tein HE's dropped ~1.5"

They are 17x7's.. 205-40-17s... not wide enuff :p

The car actually does sit quite nicely.. just i don't care for the ride.. but that could be due to the old ass stock blown struts.

AGX adjustables and I forgot which springs I put on this one. I did have Monroes on it at one time and they lowered the front another half inch. The wheels are Voxx, 16x7.

its dark but you can sorta see. i dunno how much its lowered but it has illuminias and i think intrax lowering springs.

hey what did you use to cut the springs? I tried cutting my stock ones last night with an electric saw with brand new blades.......(barely scratched the springs) Thinking about using a torch. Do you know of any cheap lowering springs? I just wanna drop my 89 n/a GTUs (with a turbo II hood :) ) 1.5-2 inches.

I got my springs from speedmachineperformance.com. They are B+G springs and are IMO (and many others on this forum that I've spoken to) on par with RB springs, and lower the car more than the RB springs (1.5" while RB is 1" I believe). They are also cheaper than RB springs. Only thing that sucked was that they took about 2.5-3 months to get due to the fact that they were backordered and are made in Sweden. I don't know what the situation is right now with them...they may be in stock but ASK FIRST.

its not a good idea to cut springs. but when i did it with my old truck i used a die grinder with a cutting wheel. road like crap.

here is my mine with 16 supra rims and a 1" drop with rb springs
